[Verse 1]
D               G       Bm
  Give it up or go down with it
  A          D           G
A secret's a boat tossed on a wave
D                             G      Bm
  All these years you've been living with it
         A            D        G
And it's   fucked you up every which way


[Chorus]
Em     Bm          A
Secret keepers are lost and found
Em             Bm                A        D
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
    G            Bm                A         G
You never really know what they're carrying around
      A        D             G
Every day is a battle that's   never won


[Verse 2]
D                  G       Bm
  It's not safe to keep it hidden
    A        D       G
And it's not safe to let it out
D                   G      Bm
  You just learn to do its bidding
      A           D           G
As it   blows you up from the inside out


[Chorus]
Em     Bm          A
Secret keepers are lost and found
Em             Bm                A        D
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
    G            Bm                A         G
You never really know what they're carrying around
        A        D         G
Is it a  live grenade or a loaded gun?


[Bridge]
E                      G
  Out of sight, out of questions
                           D
With your truest friend: depression
                             F#m
Whispering "me too," true confession
     A
No relief and no redemption


[Solo]
D      G Bm  A  D  G
D      G Bm  A  D  G


[Chorus]
Em     Bm             A
Secret keepers, we're all the same
Em               Bm               A        D
Looking for some kindness when we meet someone
       G        Bm       A            G
We get years of practice camouflaging shame
        A           D       G
But the armor we're wearing weighs a ton


[Chorus]
Em     Bm          A
Secret keepers are lost and found
Em             Bm                A        D
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
    G            Bm                A         G
You never really know what they're carrying around
