[Verse 1]
   E                A
To step out of your cradle
   E
is like coming down
C#m            B            A
I just had somebody tell me I
                       E
was introspective to a fault
     A           E
I'll be a doozer - if I can
A             E               F#
But I will contented be right now
          A
for us to keep our secret

[Chorus]
          E                A
You could tell me all your secrets
E                        A
All you ever do is run and hide
                  B
You can keep it inside
          E                A
You could tell me all your secrets
E                       A
All I have to do is let it ride
                B
I can keep it inside
            C#m
But if it's as it seems,
      G#
and I keep having dreams
          B*
About the two of us,
          C*
then it's obvious
           E
You should stop treating me
           A      E
like I was just a child
           E
You should start treating me
           A       B       A
like I was just as wild as you

B5

[Chorus]
         E              A
We could be a little closer
    E
The mystery you're
          A
trying to preserve
                    B
You don't need in reserve
         E               A
We could get a little closer
  E                      A
Intimacy has the greater charm
                   B
And it would do no harm
          C#m
To give a little way,
           G#
oh please stop holding sway
          B
You could even read
        C*
me your poetry
N.C.         E
If you could stop treating
              A      E
me like I was just a child
E
Start treating me like
      A       B
I was just as wild as you
E
Stop treating me like
      A      D     E
I was just a chi-i-ild

[Outro]
D     E
Chi-i-ild
       D     B
Just a chi-i-ild
       D     B
Just a chi-i-ild
       D     B
Just a chi-i-ild
       D     B
Just a chi-i-ild
