                     D
From my window I see roads

G                           D
  Lead to darkness, leading home

G                      D
  In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping

G                       D
  Hear the waterfall of women weeping

G                           D
  Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling

G                      D                 G
  Hear the prostituted children calling (calling out)
[Bridge]
         Bm              A     Bm
From the barred and mesh-floor streets

     A        D          A     G
Of a winter's night, without a moon
[Chorus]
            D              G
I am safe - hidden here     (I am safe - hidden here)

| D | G | D | G | D | G |
         Hiding out
[Verse]
                      D
I look over chequered fields

G                         D
  And the towering web of steel

G                            D
  Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling

G                           D
  While the empty churches' bells are pealing

G                           D
  And the green hills lay ignored, untended

G                            D
  The lonely watchers remain unbefriended
[Bridge]
    Bm         A       Bm
And out in the one-way streets

     A        D         A     G
Is a swelling maze, without a door
[Chorus]
            D                            G
I am safe - hidden here     (I am safe - hidden here)
| D | G | [Outro]
             D              G 
 I am safe - hidden here

             D                 Bm
 I am safe - hidden here, I am safe

             D              G 
 I am safe - hidden here

             D              G 
 I am safe - hidden here

             D              G 
 I am safe - hidden here
(repeat and fade – voc ad lib)
