Dm [Verse 1] Dm Keep on running down that long black road Dm You'll find sunshine and showers made with love to behold Dm But can you keep a secret Dm Can you keep a secret Dm Keep on reaching up for that higher ground Dm But don't keep on preaching out for that book you found Dm Can you keep a secret Dm Can you keep a secret [Chorus 1] G I can play it on an old guitar G You can sing it like a monkey man G Dm Don't speak of soul 'cause you've got none G And all the kids in a funky bar G Dressing down like a bogeyman G If they don't mind and you don't mind G Dm I'm gonna write that in a song [Bridge] Dm But can you keep a secret Dm But can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm But can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) [Chorus 2] G On the cover of a magazine G You wore a face that I've seldom seen G Dm You spilled your guts but you've got none G You drive 'round in a beat up car G That you found by the road you run G If they don't mind and you don't mind G Dm I'm gonna write that in a song [Outro] Dm But can you keep a secret Dm But can you keep a secret Dm But can you keep a secret Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm Can you keep a secret Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground) Dm (Keep on reaching up for that higher ground)
