[Intro]
E E7 A
[Verse 1]
A A7 D
Every place we used to go where the lights were burning low
E E7 A
We had to whisper for fear the world would learn
A A7 D
And if a friend we chance to meet while we were slipping down the street
E E7 A A7
We'd hear them whisper before our backs were turned
[Chorus]
D
Now we've tried to do what's right
A
We brought our love out in the light
B7 E E7
I feel like shouting from the rooftops that we're free
A A7 D
For now you finally wear my name, our friends don't openly complain
E E7 A
But they keep whispering about you and me
[Interlude]
E E7 A
[Verse 2]
A A7 D
When we walk in a room that's filled, it seems it suddenly grows still
E E7 A
They've made heroes out of our old used-to-be
A A7 D
We get a few polite "hello"s, then they start talking in hushed tones
E E7 A A7
They're still whispering about you and me
[Chorus]
D
Now we've tried to do what's right
A
We brought our love out in the light
B7 E E7
I feel like shouting from the rooftops that we're free
A A7 D
For now you finally wear my name, our friends don't openly complain
E E7 A
But they keep whispering about you and me
