The Secret

C
All gathered 'round in our Sunday 
best
After the service on them old church
 steps
F                            
Congregation spilling into the 
          C F
streets
C
Ain't it funny how the preacher's 
words
Disappear out here on the curb
         F                         
Once the weight of an old friend's 
                    C
body and your hands meet
Am
Tending bar up in Syracuse
G
Momma called when she got the news
     C                             
Hell, I don't know who she'll miss 
               F
more, you or me
       C
No, it didn't feel real, no not 'til
 now
            G
Behind this long black Lincoln in 
our little town
 F                     G          
Rolling by buildings I never 
             C
thought again I'd see

[Chorus]
            F        G           
And I can't help but think about 
C                     Am
all that we could have been
    F       G               C    
Had you not stayed here and 
                   Am
settled for a life with him

F        G              Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
F             G              C     C
Buried is the secret that was us

C
I can still see you standing there
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
         F                    
And your shaking voice say you 
 G                     C
couldn't get past the shame

C
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
Either way it's still a lie
F                   G            
Carrying your child with another 
      C
man's name

[[Chorus]
            F        G           
And I can't help but think about 
C                     Am
all that we could have been
    F       G               C    
Had you not stayed here and 
                   Am
settled for a life with him
F        G              Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
F             G              C     C
Buried is the secret that was us

/// Am  F  G

Am                            G
I walk up and shake his hand, tell 
him just how sorry I am
    C                              
And what I wouldn't give to have 
  F
you back
C                                  
I wonder if you're looking down on 
G
all who is gathered 'round
F               G               
Knowing one day I too will find 
C
peace


[Chorus]
            F        G           
And I can't help but think about 
C                     Am
all that we could have been
    F       G               C    
Had you not stayed here and 
                   Am
settled for a life with him
F        G              Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
F             G              C     C
Buried is the secret that was us

F             G               C
Buried is the secret that was us
