Dm                          G
I walk along the street and wonder what to do
            Bb
I'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brain
          Dm
But as to how, I haven't a clue
Dm
Should I shout at the people who pass me by
G
Hey folks look at me, I'm no ordinary guy
Bb
I had a love and she swore she was mine
    Dm
But she only loved me when the weather was fine.

[Chorus]
Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do
                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
              Dm
Keep it to yourself.

[Verse 2]
Dm
On a subway train, I hide from the rain
           G
And take a seat right next to the door
        Bb
There's a man with a case and as I look at his face
  Dm
I'm sure I've seen him someplace before
Dm
He looks up and I look down
             G
And then we both look away
     Bb
The train slows down and my head spins ‘round
           Dm
It's like scene from a one-act play.

[Chorus]
Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do
                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
              Dm
Keep it to yourself.

[Verse 3]
Dm                           G
I feel much better when the sun has lost its glow
          Bb
When the light of day is fading away
               dm
And there are shadows wherever I go
Dm
Yes the light is fading and I'm masquerading
     G
As a poet with something to say
        Bb
The inspiration's gone and I can't turn it on
               Dm
It's been the same since she went away.

[Chorus]
Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do
                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
              Dm
Keep it to yourself.
