Lyrics

G7 C
In the theater no one knows that we held hands

Verse:
C G C
It started when we were just a girl and a boy
C G C
Playing all day and running into the dark
Am G Am G
But by junior high, all the rules had changed At the fox theater we would arrange
F G C
A secret that would live in our own hearts


Chorus - Instrumental 1st time F / C / G7/ C
F C
When the movie?s loud and lights were out, we?d understand
G7 C
In the theater no one knew that we held hands

Verse:
When the group of girls all met to go to the show
The boys went too and crammed in the same row
You didn?t know what I knew then, that I?d already gone and made a plan
When I took your trembling fingers in my hand

Bridge
Dm C G
The years went on and the theater closed
C G Am
You and I fell in to new roles
Dm C G
I knew someway deep in my soul
F G C
we?d get a chance to star on our old parts

Chorus:
When the movies was loud and the lights were low, we?d understand
In the theater no one knew that we held hands
(Repeat)

Verse:
I remember feeling sad at every movie?s end
When the projector stopped and the outside light burst in
Cuz our world played in the Matinee, the fifth row was our fantasy
But when the sunlight hit, reality began

Chorus:
When the movies was loud and the lights were low, we?d understand
In the theater no one knew that we held hands

When the movies loud we?d understand
In the theater no one knew that we held hands
In the theater no one knows that we hold hands
