C Bb F# F# Ab F# F#-Ab 
C Bb F# F# Ab F# F#-Ab 
 
verse 1: 
Ab  
The signal is subtle 
F            F# 
We pass just close enough to touch 
Ab 
No questions, no answers 
F          F# 
We know by now to say enough 
Ab 
With only simple words 
F         F# 
With only subtle turns 
Ab 
The things we feel alone for one another 
           F#             Bb                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C# 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#               Bb                   Ab 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
           F#       Bb      C# 
We are compelled to do what we must do 
          F#                Bb              Ab 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden 

F                   F# 
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight 
 
verse 2: 
Ab 
Our act of defiance 
F            F# 
We keep this secret in our blood 
Ab 
No paper or letters 
F            F# 
We pass just close enough to touch 
Ab 
We love in secret names 
F           F# 
We hide within our veins 
Ab 
The things that keep us bound to one another 
           F#             Bb                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C# 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#               Bb                   Ab 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
          F#        Bb      C# 
We are compelled to do what we must do 
          F#                Bb              Ab 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
 
bridge: 
          Bb 
Until the last resilient hope 
           F# 
Has frozen deep inside my bones 
         C# 
And this broken fate has claimed me 
       F# 
And my memories for its own 
             Bb 
Your name is pounding through my veins 
          F# 
Can't you hear how it is sung? 
          C# 
And I can taste you in my mouth 
           Ab 
Before the words escape my lungs 
          C# 
And I'll whisper only once... 
           F#             Bb                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C# 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#               Bb                   Ab 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
          F#        Bb         C# 
We are compelled to do what we have to 
          F#                Bb              Ab 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
 
ending: 
                F#     Bb    C# 
'Cause you will be somebody's girl 
             F#        Bb    Ab 
And you will keep each other warm 
      F#         C#      Bb   Ab   F# 
But tonight I am feeling cold
