Hideaway Erasure
This is of course an 80s song normally performed with synthesizers, but the guitar
version works better than you might think.
Verse: (1st verse starts off playing staccato)
One day[A] the boy decided
To let them kno[D]w the way he fel[E]t inside
He coul[A]d not stand to hide it
His mother she [D]broke down and c[E]ried
PreChorus:
Oh my f[E]ather
Why don't you t[A]alk to me now?[D]
Oh my m[E]other
Do you still cr[A]y yourself to sl[D]eep?
[E]Are you still proud of your lit[A]tle boy?[D] [E]
Chorus:
[D]Don't be afraid (be afr[E]aid)
[D]You don't have to hidea[A]way
Verse:
The boy he was rejected
By the people that he cared for
It's not what they expected
But he could not keep it secret anymore
PreChorus:
Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy?
Chorus:
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hideaway, no

[A]Don't be afraid[F]
[D]Love will mend your bro[A]ken wing
[A]Time will slip [F]away
[D]Learn to be bra[A]ve

Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now?
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep?
Are you still proud of your little boy?

Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave
