Paranoid Eyes

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.
