Secret Door Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Fools on [Bbm]parade cavort,
and [Dm]carry on for waiting [Am]eyes
That you would [Gm]rather be beside,
than in [Am]front of
But she's [Gm]never been the kind,
to be [Am]hollowed by the stares

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][F][Am]
[Dm][Am][F][Am]
[Dm][Am][F][Am]
[Dm][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
She [Dm]swam out [Am]of toni[F]ght's phanta[Am]sm
[Dm]Grabbed my [Am]hand and [F]made it [Am]very [Dm]clear[Am]
There's [F]absolutely [Am]nothing,
for [Dm]us h[Am]ere[F][Am]
It's a [Dm]magnolia cele[Am]bration
to be at[F]tended on a Wednesday [Am]night
It's [Dm]better than to get a reput[Am]ation,
as a [F]miserable little [Am]tyke
At [Dm]least that's the con[Am]clusion
she [F]came to in this [Am]overture
[Dm][Am][F][Dm]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]And the secret door swings[Dm] behind us
She's [Gm]saying nothing,
she's just [F]giggling a[E]long

[Verse 3]
Her [Dm]arms were [Am]folded [F]most in[Am]dignant
[Dm]Not look[Am]ing like s[F]he was s[Am]oon to l[Dm]eave[Am]
I [F]had to squint in [Am]order to be[Dm]lieve
[Am][F]
[Am]And then like a butl[Dm]er,
pushing on a [Am]bookshelf
I'm un[F]veiling the unex[Am]pected
[Dm]I, who was earlier rel[Am]uctant
Was sudden[F]ly embarrassed and cor[Am]rected
[Dm]How could such a c[Am]reature,
sur[F]vive in such a [Am]habitat?
[Dm][Am][F][Dm]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]And the secret door swings behin[Dm]d us
She's saying [Gm]nothing,
she's just [Dm]giggling along
[Am]Even if they were to find [Dm]us
I wouldn’t [Gm]no tice,
I'm com[Am]pletely occu[C]pied

[Bridge 1]
As all the [F]fools on pa[Bbm]rade,
cavort and [Dm]carry on for waiting [Am]eyes
Ones you would [Gm]rather be beside,
than in [Am]front of
But she's [Gm]never been the kind,
to be [C]hollowed by the stares
[F]Fools on pa[Bbm]rade,
frolic and [Dm]fuck about,
to make her [Am]gaze
Turn to a [Gm]scribble on a page,
by a [Am]picture that holds her [Gm]absence
But you're [C]daft to think she'd care

[Outro 1]
[F]Fools on [Bbm]parade[Dm][Am]
[Gm]Fools on [Am]parade
[Gm]Fool[C]s on[F] parade[Bbm]
Conduct a [Dm]sing-along[Am][Gm][Am][Gm][C]
