Em
I tried to hide a little thought
AmG
The more I tried the worse things got
GBm
It started out so meek and small
AmG
But in a wink pervaded all
GC
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
GD
By trying to hide if I'd asked it to stay
GC
By trying to hide if I'd made it a bed
GD
from which to rule the world unsaid
CEm
To hide a little thought
CEm
A little vagabond
CEm
A sprite in the dark
CEm
that wouldn't move along
Em
Many thoughts they come and go
AmG
This too shall pass, she'll never know
GBm
But since my way is bold and free
AmG
She noticed something strange in me
C
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
GD
Maybe my eyes started darting around
GC
Maybe my hands started covering my face
GD
Maybe I rambled all over the place
CEm
To hide a little thought
CEm
A little vagabond
CEm
A sprite in the dark
CEm
that wouldn't move along
Break: Em, Am, G, Bm, Am, G, A, D, A, E, A, D, A, E, D, F#m, D, F#m, D, F#m, D, F#m
F#m
I don't say each thing on my mind
BmA
To say each thing would be unkind
C#m
But with someone I know so well
BmA
it's so unlike me not to tell
AD
Usually I like confrontations, I do
AE
I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true
AD
I look so lifeless when I try to lie
AE
That's why it's easy to tell when I try
DF#m
To hide a little thought
DF#m
A little vagabond
DF#m
A sprite in the dark
DF#m
That wouldn't move along
