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]He was moving towards me like a d[Em]eadly hurricane
Well the [Dm]eye was on the sparrow but [E]I was in the rain
[Am] Rolled into town and blew his sm[Em]oke into my eyes
Well it was o[Dm]nly for a moment but [E]I was hypnotized

[Am]Why can?t [Em]I know s[Dm]ecrets that you?re ke[E]eping from me?

[Am]Stop, don?t t[Em]ell me now
Cause there is [Dm]only one day more and I d[E]on?t know how
To [Am]bring to life the things that meant so [Em]much to me before
There is d[Dm]anger in your words that [E]I cannot ignore

[Am]Why must [Em]I conceal the s[Dm]ecrets I?ve been k[E]eeping from you?

Am, Em, Dm, E

[Am] Sorry thing it was that f[Em]ell out of your hands
Then you t[Dm]ake me in your arms become the g[E]ood samaritan
[Am]Time flies by like planes above and w[Em]orries me to death
Cause I l[Dm]ose you more and more with [E]every breath

[Am]Why can?t [Em]I know s[Dm]ecrets that you?re ke[E]eping from me?
[Am]Why must [Em]I conceal the s[Dm]ecrets I?ve been k[E]eeping from you?

Am, Em, Dm, E
