F#               B                    G#m
You bring me to life then you shut me out
             C#
You keep me silent when I should shout
F#            B                 G#m
You make me cry and you make me come
             C#
You are the cop and I'm on the run

Chorus:
F#        B                  G#m
It all begins with just one kiss
                    C#
I'm held hostage by your love
F#         B             G#m
Put me in cuffs, lock me up
                    C#
I'm held hostage by your touch
      F#                    B
This prison is rough but I can't get enough
     G#                        C#
The secret life of us keeps me in handcuffs
F#            B                       G#m
Don't lock me up, don't you wanna free us
                         C#
I'm held hostage by your love

Then you let me out, and I catch the sun
You give me a taste of you and no one
But you always leave, and again I’m alone
This secret burns, but I'm imprisoned

Chorus:
It all begins with just one kiss
I'm held hostage by your love
Put me in cuffs, lock me up
I'm held hostage by your touch
This prison is rough, but I can't get enough
The secret life of us keeps me in handcuffs
Don't lock me up, don't you wanna free us?
I'm held hostage by your touch

 B              G#m           F#
Secret life of lovers who have others
                D#m
Under the covers
      B                 C#
And while you break my heart
I'm a criminal in these parts
