The Lonely Know My Secret
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Earl Montgomery

G                           D7
There's a secret behind the smile you see
                         C       G
For this smile is just a part of me
                      C
But I know some can't see the signs
     A7               D7
That show I'm hurtin' all the time
        C      D7      G           D7                G
And the lonely know my secret they know you're on my mind

                            D7
There's a secret behind the lies you tell
                        C      G
For inside is where the sorrow lies
                          C
Cause I'm living like the lonely do
    A7                   D7
For they've lost someone they love too
        C      D7      G           D7             G
And the lonely know my secret they know what I go through

Repeat #1

        C      D7      G           D7                G
Yes the lonely know my secret they know I still love you
