Bm G A F#m Em 
 
Delia
Bm 
I can never tell him 
     G 
what happened long ago. 
    A              F#m 
The truth about my past 
             Em 
is something he should never know. 
 
Misty
Bm 
I can never tell him 
   G 
my feelings deep inside. 
    A              F#m 
The truth within my heart 
             G             A 
is something I must always hide. 
 
Delia
    Em 
His whole life lies ahead, 
            Bm 
so much training to be done. 
A 
And as his mother I'll protect 
    G 
the future for my son. 
 
Misty
Em 
 His love is overwhelming, 
       Bm 
in its light I'd like to be. 
       C 
But he shares it all with Pokémon, 
Dsus4            D 
 there's just no room for me. 
 
Delia And Misty
             Em 
I've got a secret 
           D       C 
that tears up my soul, 
               D 
and keeping it hidden 
              Bm 
has taken its toll. 
        D        Em 
I can't tell the truth 
                  D  C 
'cause he might turn away. 
                   D 
So I'll keep this secret, 
Bm           A 
  it's better that way. 
 
Ash
     Bm 
Each end's a new beginning, 
 G 
every darkness has its dawn. 
 A                F#m 
Tears can't fall forever 
  G                A 
so now I must move on. 
Em 
  My hopes are still the same 
       Bm 
for the man I'd like to be, 
    C                                  Dsus4 
and I will make those dreams come true, 
         D 
just you wait and see!
