Paranoid Eyes

Pink Floyd

   G                   C                         G
1. Button your lip and don't let the shield slip.  
   C            G
   Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask.  
   C                                                      
   And if they try to break down
                            G         D C
   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
2. 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
3. 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.
