capo 2nd or 3rd fret

A D E D A E

A D
I wish I could capture all the lessons
E D A E
Of a childhood gone to sleep
A A7 D
But they stay locked up in my memories
E D E A E
Like some secret that I didn't mean to keep

Or if I could find some kind of bandage
For the wounds that cut so deep
And a way to say I'm sorry
Another secret that I didn't mean to keep

Bridge:

A7

D A
And all the times I should have kept my mouth shut
E A A7
And held inside the words that I know cut you to the core
D A F#m
Well I was fighting back the truest words of all
Bm E7
'Til they're not strong enough to make any difference anymore

I wish I had found a way to undo
The tears I know I made you weep
And told you just how much I loved you
One more secret that I didn't mean to keep

bridge chords

I wish I could find some way to unsow
This bitter harvest that I reap
And go back where I had the chances
To tell the secrets that I didn't mean to keep
