[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][Gm][G][D][Bb]
[C][Gm][D][Bb]
[C]
Do you [D]know

[Verse 1]
[C]
where we [Gm]are?[G][Gm][G][D]
I'm longing for [Bb]the dark[C]
Of our nocturnal [Gm]life[D]
It begins and ends with [Bb]you[C]
Don't spill my [Ab]secret

[Verse 2]
[Ab]You were o[G]nce running [Cm]wild,
hiding in the morning [Ab]mist
Game de[Eb]mands I make
you [G]mine[Ab]
I thought that [G]I could resi[Cm]st
But the leopard in [Ab]you silently
[Eb]preyed on me[G]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gm][Dm][C]

[Verse 3]
I made my [C]way back [Gm]home
(did you [G]fol[D] low her?)
I handled [Dm]her with c[Bb]are
[C](were you in control?)
So elegant and [Gm]sleek (were you
[G]not [D]afraid?)
I need her to be [Bb]near
(does she belong [C]to you?)
Don't spill my [Cm]secret[Ab]

[Verse 4]
[Ab]You were o[G]nce running [Cm]wild,
hiding in the morning [Ab]mist
Game de[Eb]mands I make
you [G]mine[Ab]
I thought that [G]I could resi[Cm]st
But the leopard in [Ab]you s[Eb]ilently preyed
on [Gm]me[G]

[Interlude 2]
[Gm][Dm][C][Gm][Dm]
[C]

[Verse 5]
Deserted [C]by my [Gm]friends [D](don't they
understand?)
She's so much more than [Bb]them
(how could [C]they compare?)
So now she's just for [Gm]me
(no one else [D]can see)
I watch her while she [Bb]sleeps
(be sure she dreams [C]of you)

[Interlude 3]
Don't spill my secret

[Verse 6]
[Gm](It's been quite [D]a while) since
we were [Dm]last out[Bb]side
(And do you miss [C]the chase?) Now
that we've both been [Gm]tamed
(Inside this [D]gilded cage) prisoners
of [Dm]our t[Bb]houghts
(You saved me [C]from myself) don't
spill my [Gm]secret[D]
Don't spill my secret
"Today [Bb]a man was taken from

[Verse 7]
[Bb]his apartment
at the New Jersey Shore
Under record under sus[C]picion of entrapment of
[Ab]a wild [C]animal (don't spill my secret)
Griesley Port [Gm]Entry discovered a caged
leopard in the building
The fully-grown feline [D]feline was said to be surprisingly
domesticated (don't spill my secret)
By zoological [Bb]experts who gave her a thorough examination,
before preparing her for reloca[C]tion
A large crowd had gathered outside to watch the beau[Gm]tiful creature (don't spill,
don't spill my secret)
As a giant cage was lowered slowly onto the street by
a [D]crane (don't spill, don't spill my secret)
From here, the leopard was transferred [Bb]in to
the back of a truck for it's journey ahead
A startled onlooker said,
it's [C]extraordinary to think that any human being
Could have lived in such close quar[Gm]ters
with such a dangerous animal
Police are saying that [D]the captor was simply besotted with the creature,
and barely left her [Bb]side
It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild
and expertly [C]forged documents
To facilitate her illegal export to [C]the
United States [G]of America
The incident has already created
much controversy
And is now likely to lead to a major
international investigation
Into the life of the man
who stole a leopard"
