G                   C                          G
Button your lip and don't let the shield slip.

                          C            G
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask.

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

      G                          C                 G

    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,
