[Verse 1]
D Gsus2 D
Kissing in the car, we come out after dark
Gsus2 D
Fingers interlaced under the checkered tablecloth
Gsus2 D
I put your jacket on, you make me take it off
Gsus2 D
You’d rather I be cold than ever dare to show me off

[Pre-Chorus]
D Gsus2 D Em/B
Keep your head down as you walk down the road
D G Bm/F# E7/G#
And say “I love you” just in whispers

[Chorus]
D D/C#
But I don’t wanna be your dirty secret
Bm A
I don’t wanna be your love affair
G D/F#
I don’t wanna be your favorite person
Em A
Only when no one is there
D D/C#
And I don’t wanna be your sweet escape
Bm A
And I don’t wanna say wе’re best friends
G/B Gm/Bb
I don’t wanna bе your lover undercover
D/A A
When you see me at a party and we’re strangers again

[Post-Chorus]
D D/C# Bm A
Ah, ah, ah (And we’re strangers again)
G D/F# Em7
Ah, ah, ah (Lover undercover and we’re strangers again)

[Verse 2]
D Gsus2 D
Tell me, is it me? Do you not wanna be seen
Gsus2 D
With somebody who’s young and unassuming as me?
Gsus2 D
Or are you being strange, so other girls my age
Gsus2 D
Will hit you up and give you the attention you crave?

[Pre-Chorus]
D Gsus2 D Em/B
I’m tired of meeting you at the back door
D G Bm/F# E7/G#
I don’t wanna say “I love you” in whispers anymore

[Chorus]
D D/C#
I don’t wanna be your dirty secret
Bm A
I don’t wanna be your love affair
G D/F#
I don’t wanna be your favorite person
Em A
Only when no one is there
D D/C#
And I don’t wanna be your sweet escape
Bm A
And I don’t wanna say wе’re best friends
G/B Gm/Bb
I don’t wanna bе your lover undercover
D/A A
When you see me at a party and we’re strangers again

[Post-Chorus]
D D/C# Bm A
Ah, ah, ah (And we’re strangers again)
G D/F# Em7
Ah, ah, ah (Lover undercover and we’re strangers again)

[Bridge]
D D/C#
What is it that makes you do this?
D/C G
Thinking that if I were different
D D/C#
You’d kiss my cheek in public
D/C G/B Gm/Bb
Maybe I’m a secret you can’t keep

[Chorus]
D D/C# Bm A
‘Cause I don’t wanna be your dirty secret
G D/F# Em
I don’t wanna be your love affair
D D/C#
And I don’t wanna be your sweet escape
Bm A
And I don’t wanna say wе’re best friends
G D/F#
I don’t wanna bе your lover undercover
Em A
When you see me at a party and we’re strangers again

[Post-Chorus]
D D/C# Bm A
Ah, ah, ah (Lover undercover and we’re, and we’re strangers)
G D/F# Em7
Ah, ah, ah (Lover undercover and we’re strangers again)

[Outro]
G/B Gm/Bb D/A A D
I’m your lover undercover and we’re strangers, we’re strangers again
