Intro

From the (Gm) thoughts that I've been (Dm) thinkin'
I should (Eb) think of an ali(Dm)bi
Thought I'm (Gm) innocent, I've (Dm) still got a guilty (Eb) mind
There's no (Gm) place that I can turn to
When (Em7b5) she turns out the lights
To (Eb) keep her from seein (Cm) you
burnin' in my (Gm) eyes

(F) It's (Bb) like try(F7)in' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)
(F7) Carrin' around this torch in my heart
I (Bbsus) cannot con(Bb)ceal it I (Bbsus) cannot (Bb) put it (F7) out
It's (Bb) like (F7) tryin' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)
(F7) Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's (Bbsus) out of con(Bb)trol and (Bbsus) nothin' can help me (Bb) now (F7)

At (Gm) first it was no (Dm) problem
Flickering (Eb) thoughts of you now and (Dm) then
Nothin' (Gm) intimate that (Dm) she could call a (Eb) sin
Then you (Gm) sparked my imagi(Dm)nation
Temp(Em7b5)tation bout to drive me wild
These (Eb) flares of desire (Cm) you can see for (Gm) miles

(F) It's (Bb) like try(F7)in' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)
(F7) Carrin' around this torch in my heart
I (Bbsus) cannot con(Bb)ceal it I (Bbsus) cannot (Bb) put it (F7) out
It's (Bb) like (F7) tryin' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)
(F7) Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's (Bbsus) out of con(Bb)trol and (Bbsus) nothin' can help me (Bb) now (F7)

(F) It's (Bb) like try(F7)in' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)

I (Bbsus) cannot con(Bb)ceal it I (Bbsus) cannot (Bb) put it (F7) out
It's (Bb) like (F7) tryin' to hide a fire in the dark (F) (Bb)
(F7) Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
