hide away folk family, better hide away



1.
 D                 G          D    G
Tippy toe to the front door mother

                  D          G         A  -
'cause there's a guy with a long long fuse

        Bm                   D               G               E
and the one thing you can't hide is all the fear you feel inside

        D               A          D    G
as the fuse is spelling out these words


(Chorus)


2.
Tippy toe to the flat bed father
because they're pouring out our gasoline
and sadly the cross-eyed bear's been put to sleep behind the stairs
and his shoes are laced with irony


(Chorus)


Bridge:
D  C  D  C/Bb
