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)
