G                   C                          G
Button your lip and don't let the shield slip
                          C            G
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
C                                                      G          D  C
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
        G     D     C        G/B  Am  D  Am
You can hide, hide, hide,
                G
Behind paranoid eyes

        G                          C                   G
You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar,
                        C                    G
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
C
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
         G    D      C
With the boys in the crowd
    G     D     C      Am  D  Am
You hide, hide, hide,
                 G
Behind petrified eyes

C  G  C  G  C  G  Em  D  Am  G

      G                          C                 G
You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory
                              C                   G
Now you're lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age
    C                                         G       D  C
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
        G     D     C       Am  D  Am
And you hide, hide, hide,

Behind brown and mild eyes
