Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) Writer and Composer of Hide in Your Shell Chords

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] In _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] your shell, the [Bb] world is out, [Gm] leaves will fall, [Eb] alright, what will [Cm] you gain?
Making [Ab] your life live [Eb] longer, _ _ [Bb] _ _ heaven [Gm] or hell, was [Bb] the general code [Gm] that gave the eyes [Eb] of you.
To steal or shelter [Cm] behind, painting [Ab] your mind, play [Eb] _ _
joker.
[D] To fly, to meet, to lose, to [Gm] _ stranger, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
to put, hide [Gm] and baby red. _
_ [Eb] Your way, to find someone [Ab] to understand you. _
But [F] you got demons in your closet, _ _ and you're screaming _ _ _ out to stop it.
Saying life's for those cheap, friends you love to beat you.
[Cm] That was what [F] you scramble for, let [D] the tears linger [Gm] on, say goodbye.
[Dm] _ Short time [Gm] you gave control, [Cm] to help you, if [Eb] I could help you.
If [Ab] I could help you, just let [F] me know.
Or let [D] me show you [Gm] the mirrors to say I'm okay.
[Dm] _
I'll find [Gm] someone to blame.
If [Cm] I could help you, [Eb] if I could help you, [Ab] if I could help you, [F] just let me know. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Through [Bb] the _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] night, _ [Bb] as you lie awake, [Gm] and hold yourself, [Eb] to tell what [Cm] you need.
A second [Ab] hand movie [Eb] star, to tell you, _ _ [Bb] _ I'm [Gm] as a boy.
_ [Bb] I believe the same, [Gm] the cure for pain [Eb] is love.
Well how would it [Cm] be, if [Ab] you could see the world [Eb] through my eyes.
[D] To find, what you need, while the fire's [Gm] getting _ colder. _ _
_ [D] Which is _ _ beautiful, when you think you're [Gm] getting older. _ _ _
_ [Eb] Your way, to find someone to [Ab] bring them as they're supposed. _
What you [F] see _ _ _ is just an illusion.
It's a _ _ _ _ roundabout illusion.
Same life's begun to cheat you, friends without hate you.
[Cm] Well I'm watching [F] you scramble for food, [Dm] let the tears linger [Gm] on, say goodbye.
[Dm] It's your time to [Gm] gain control, _ _
[Cm] before you [Eb] pick the hero, _ [Ab] _
or choose to [F] get the girl.
Or [Dm] let me show you the [Gm] mirrors to say [Dm] I'm okay.
I'll find [Gm] someone to blame.
[Cm] _
Help me, [Eb] if I can help you, if [Ab] I can help you, just let [F] me _ know. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Cause you know I [Fm] want to know.
_ _ [F] _ _
I want to know.
_ _ _ I want to know.
I want to know.
I want to know.
_ _ _ _ I want to know.
Won't you [Eb] let me know.
_ _ [F] _ [Cm] Won't [Bb] you let me know.
_ _ _ I [F] want to know.
_ _ _ Oh, I [Cm] want to feel you.
_ Oh, [Bb] I want to touch you.
_ _ Let [F] me see you.
I want to know.
Can't you [Cm] hear what I'm saying?
[Db] When I'm hoping, hoping, even I pray
You know what you're [Fm] thinking
And you know what you're saying
[Eb] Never, never, [Bb] never, never, [F] never
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why do you hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen?
[Dm] You can trust me
[Gm] I know the place, I know [Dm] the way
_ [Gm] Whatever place it [Cm] _
is
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] You _ _
_ [F] _ know
[Dm] Hold your head up
[Gm] I _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Ab] know that I can see
[F] _
_ [Dm] I _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] know who you [Ab] are
I [Eb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ [F] know who _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
you are
