         E
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
              A                  D
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
            E
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

Chorus:
C#m E                 A
Love we shine like a Burning star
We're falling from the
C#m
Sky Tonight A man will
C#m              E                         A
Beg A man will crawl On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
         E
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief;
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief

Chorus - x2

E
Oh, yeah!
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
