This song is in capo 4, but this song is sung by Allison, whose voice is suuuper low.
(she is a contralto)
So if you're a soprano, like me, it's good to up it to capo 6 or 7.
It's one of my favourites off the album. It's so beautiful and haunting. Enjoy :D
Capo 4
Intro: Am, Em, Dm, E
Am Em
He was moving towards me like a deadly hurricane
Dm E
Well the eye was on the sparrow but I was in the rain
Am Em
Rolled into town and blew his smoke into my eyes
Dm E
Well it was only for a moment but I was hypnotized
Am Em Dm E
Why can’t I know secrets that you’re keeping from me?
Am Em
Stop, don’t tell me now
Dm E
Cause there is only one day more and I don’t know how
Am Em
To bring to life the things that meant so much to me before
Dm E
There is danger in your words that I cannot ignore
Am Em Dm E
Why must I conceal the secrets I’ve been keeping from you?
Am, Em, Dm, E

Am Em
Sorry thing it was that fell out of your hands
Dm E
Then you take me in your arms become the good samaritan
Am Em
Time flies by like planes above and worries me to death
Dm E
Cause I lose you more and more with every breath
Am Em Dm E
Why can’t I know secrets that you’re keeping from me?
Am Em Dm E
Why must I conceal the secrets I’ve been keeping from you?
