Secret Door Chords & Tabs
SECRET DOOR by ARCTIC MONKEYS (Chords)
INTRO:
A# (4 bars)
A# D#m Gm
Fools on parade cavort and carry on
Dm
For waiting eyes
Cm Dm
That you would rather be beside than in front of
Cm Dm
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
then:
Gm Dm A# F x2
VERSE 1:
Gm F A# F
She swam out of tonight’s phantasm
(same goes for this below)
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There’s absolutely nothing for us here
It’s a magnolia celebration
To be attempted on a Wednesday night
It’s better than to get a reputation
As a miserable little tyke
At least that’s the conclusion
She came to in this overture
CHORUS 1:
Dm Gm
The secret door swings behind us
Cm
She’s saying nothing
A# A
She’s just giggling along
VERSE 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/arctic_monkeys/secret_door_crd_ver_2.html ]
Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I’m unveiling the unexpected
How she was never gonna look to?
Suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature
Survive in such a habitat
CHORUS 2:
Dm Gm
The secret door swings behind us
Cm
She’s saying nothing
Gm
She’s just giggling along
Dm Gm
And even if they were to find us
Cm Dm F
I wouldn’t notice I’m completely occupied at all the
A# D#m
Fools on parade
Gm Dm
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Cm Dm
That you would rather be beside than in front of
Cm F
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you’re daft to think she’d care
