[intro]

C               F           G          C
Once we rode together in a metal firecracker
    C                  F          C                  F
You told me I was your queen, you told me I was your biker
    C             F - G      C - Csus   C
You told me I was e - everything

C                    F                   G           C
Once I was in your blood, and you were obsessed with me
    C                   F           C             F
You wanted to paint my picture, you wanted to undress me
    C                F - G        C - Csus   C
You wanted to see me i - in your future

C        Am         F                G
  All I ask: Don't tell anybody the secrets
      F                 G              C - Csus   C
Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you
C        Am         F                G
  All I ask: Don't tell anybody the secrets
      F                 G              C - Csus   C
Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you

[guitar solo: 8 bars, same chords as chorus]

Once you held me so tight, I thought I'd lose my mind
You said I rocked your world, you said it was for all time
You said that I would always be your girl

We'd put on ZZ Top and turn 'em up real loud
I used to think you were strong, I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong

All I ask: Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you
All I ask: Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you

[guitar solo: 8 bars, same chords as chorus, end on C.]
