John Hiatt – Hide Your Tears (Guitar)

C                  F         C                          G
 I don't spend too many days Thinking about my reckless ways

Am                             F                               C    F
Broken hearts, rhymes of death Trouble I've brought, pain I've left

C                    F           C
 All the changes I try to make Like drowning bubbles in a giant wake

Am                Dm   Am            F                       C
Coughed from the sea on to dry land  Brought to life somehow again

 F               G       C         F                   G      Am
Hide your tears out in plain sight Hide your tears to catch the light

 F              G          Am       F                 G         C
Show your tears to all your friends Then go and hide your tears again

C                                                           F        G
Heard her cries thriugh bedroom doors Crashing dreams off distant shores

       Am                               F                C      F C F
Said everything I shouldn't say  Would different matter anyway

C                         F     C                  F         Am
The stories I could never tell Of lives and wives and city bells

                          Dm       Am          F                           C
They're all wrapped in my arms so dear Though nothing I have can hold them here

F                                   F                   G      Am
Hide your tears out in plain sight  Hide your tears to catch the light

 F                G      Am               F      G       C F    C     Am
Show your tears to all your friends  Then go and hide your tears again

C    F   C
I still fall for it every time Take the cure on my own dime

Am                   Dm         F                          C  F
Get up, get knocked down again I ask for five you give me ten

C                                        C                F
I broke into the house of love A dimming light my shadow held

       Am             Dm       Am  F                         C
'Til shadows held no light to see With all of it surrounding me

 F               G      C            F                  G    Am
Hide your tears out in plain sight  Hide your tears to catch the light

F              G          Am       F                 G         C
Show your tears to all your friends Then go and hide your tears again

C                  F         C                          G
 I don't spend too many days Thinking about my reckless ways

   Am             Dm      Am         F              C
Aman tries to outrun his death Or a broken heart runs out of breath
