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.

     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.
