Fm You went looking for me dear Down by the sea You found some little silver fish But you didn't find me Chorus: Fm I was hiding, dear Hiding all way I was hiding, dear I was hiding all way You went to the museum You climbed a spiral stair You searched for me all among The knowledgeable air Chorus: I was hidden, babe I was hiding all away I was hidden, dear I was hiding all away You entered the cathedral When you heard the solemn knell I was not sitting with the gargoyles I was not swinging from the bell Chorus: I was hiding, dear I was hiding all away I was hiding, dear I was hiding all away You asked an electrician If he'd seen me around his place He touched you with his fingers Sent sparks zapping out your face Chorus: I was hidden, dear I was hiding all away I was not there, dear I was hiding all away You went and asked your doctor To get some advice He shot you full of Pethadine And then he went and billed you twice Chorus: But I was hiding, dear I was hiding all away But I was hiding, dear Hiding all away You approached a high court judge You thought he'd be on the level Well he wrapped a rag around your face And beat you with his gavel Chorus: I was hiding, babe I was hiding all away I was keeping hidden, dear I was hiding all away You asked at the local constabulary They said, he's up to his same old tricks They leered at you with their baby blues And rubbed jelly on their sticks Chorus: I had to get out of there, babe I was hiding all away You better get out of there, dear I was hiding all away You searched through all my poets From Sappho through to Auden I saw the book fall from your hands As you slowly died of boredom Chorus: I had been there, dear But I was not there anymore I had been there, dear Now I'm hiding all way You walked into the ball of fame And approached my imitators Some were stuffing their faces with caviar Some were eating cold potatoes Chorus: But I was hiding, dear I was hiding all away I was hiding, dear I was hiding all away Well, you asked a famous cook if he'd seen me He opened his oven wide Well, he basted you with butter, babe And made you crawl inside Chorus: But I was not in there, dear I was hiding all away I was not in there, dear I was hiding all away You asked the butcher Who lifted up his cleaver Stuck his fist up your dress Said he must've been mad to leave you Chorus: But I had to get away, dear I was hiding all away I had to get away, dear I was hidden all away Some of us we hide away Some of us we don't Some will live to love another day And some of us won't But we all know there is a law And that law, it is love And we all know there's a war coming Coming from above There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming There is a war coming You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsFm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
