Little Secrets
Heard this song a few days ago on 100.5 in Birmingham, AL, and just loved it.
Most of this is direct from the "Manners Album Chords" already posted, but I think
a few chords weren't quite right. So I figured I might as well post the song by itself.
Enjoy :)

Little Secrets
Intro: Bb F C Dm

Verse 1:
Bb C Am
When I came down the dawn poured into me
Bb C Am
I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling
Bb CAm
My thin skin trembling with these salty wounds
Bb CAm
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Bb Am
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
Bb C Am
I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace
Bb Am
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
Bb C Am
Within the confines of such chemistry
Pre-Chorus:
F Bb
It's the way I see
Dm
Everything I need
C
It's the way to be
Chorus:
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Refrain: Bb F Am Dm
BFADm
GABb
Verse 2:
Bb C GAm
My face blew up at such a casual sight
Bb C Am
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
Bb C GAm
The rush above me to oblivion
Bb C GAm
Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen
Bb C G Am
Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong?
Bb C Am
How come it takes some people so damn long
Bb C GAm
He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
Bb C Am
The citrus drawing out the scene it stains
Pre-Chorus:
F Bb
Watch the basin drain
Dm
As your life lines wane
C
And you cant explain
Bb
As your friends complain
F Bb
You've caused all this pain
Dm
And you proudly shame
C
Your whole family's name
Chorus:
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bridge:
Bb F
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
C
staring at the stars on your ceiling
C Dm
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
C
And now I've hit the mark
Am
Stabbing at the dark
Dm C Bb
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
Chorus:
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
