Heard this song a few days ago on 100.5 in Birmingham, AL, and just loved it.
Most of this is direct from the "Manners Album Chords" already posted, but I think
a few chords weren't quite right. So I figured I might as well post the song by itself.
Enjoy :)

Little Secrets
Intro: Bb F C Dm
[Bb] [C] [Am] [Dm]
[Bb] [F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb] [C] [Am] [Dm]
Verse 1:
[Bb] When I came down the dawn poured into [C]me[G][Am]
[Bb] I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbli[C]ng[G][Am]
[Bb] My thin skin trembling with these salty wound[C]s[G][Am]
[Bb] My stolen gold inside the emperors tom[C]b[G][Am]
[Bb] Now painting rainbows on my ugly face[C][G][Am]
[Bb] I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgra[C]ce[G][Am]
[Bb] But I ascend and serve my feverish need[C][G][Am]
[Bb] Within the confines of such chemist[C]ry[G][Am]
Pre-Chorus:
[F]It's the way I [Bb]see
Everything I ne[Dm]ed
It's the way to[C] be
Chorus:
[Bb]Let this be our [F]little secret
[C]No one needs to [Dm]know we're feeling
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[Bb]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
But I [Bb]feel alive and I [F]feel it in me
[C]up and up I [Dm]keep on climbing
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[C]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
Refrain: Bb F Am Dm
[Bb] [F] [Am] [Dm]
[Gm9] [Am7] [Bb]
Verse 2:
[Bb] My face blew up at such a casual si[C]gh[G]t[Am]
[Bb] The smattered colors of ecstatic frig[C]ht[G][Am]
[Bb] The rush above me to obliv[C]io[G]n[Am]
[Bb] Outlining wet sidewalks with halo[C]ge[G]n[Am]
[Bb] Oh have you ever felt so goddamned s[C]tr[G]on[Am]g?
[Bb] How come it takes some people so damn lo[C]ng[G][Am]
[Bb] He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to r[C]ai[G]n[Am]
[Bb] The citrus drawing out the scene it stai[C]ns[G][Am]
Pre-Chorus:
[F]Watch the basin [Bb]drain
As your life lines [Dm]wane
And you cant ex[C]plain
As your friends [Bb]complain
[F]You've caused all this [Bb]pain
And you proudly [Dm]shame
Your whole family's [C]name
Chorus:
[Bb]Let this be our [F]little secret
[C]No one needs to [Dm]know we're feeling
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[Bb]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
But I [Bb]feel alive and I [F]feel it in me
[C]up and up I [Dm]keep on climbing
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[C]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
Bridge:
[Bb]Mother I can tell what you've been [F]thinking
staring at the [C]stars on your ceiling
[C]Thinking once there was a power that you were [Dm]wielding
And now I've hit the [C]mark
Stabbing at the [Am]dark
And I cannot help but i[Dm]gnore the people [C]staring at my [Bb]scars
Chorus:
[Bb]Let this be our [F]little secret
[C]No one needs to [Dm]know we're feeling
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[Bb]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
But I [Bb]feel alive and I [F]feel it in me
[C]up and up I [Dm]keep on climbing
[Bb]Higher and [F]higher and higher
[C]Higher and [Dm]higher and higher
