[Intro]
C
Bb Dm
The police high beams froze her perfect face
F
In white glow for a while
Bb Dm
The Politburo’s on high alert
C
& her name showed up on file
Bb Dm
There's trouble with their war effort
F
She's been speaking out
Bb Dm
Checkpoint Charlie's radioed in
C
She's compromised in doubt
Bb Dm Bb F
There's trouble with their war effort & she's crossed the party line
Bb F C
You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind
Bb F
You were so pretty, oh
Bb F
& you were so pretty, Oh oh
We’re Hiding out
Bb
& the files have been filled
Gm
The regime won't be undermined
Bb Gm
& you were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind
Bb F Dm
...Quiet now, don't make a sound
Bb F C
The system shut us down now, we’ll find each other in the underground
Bb Dm
She had the voice once of the people now
Bb F
She's timid as a mouse
Bb F C
I would kiss you on the mouth in a safe house
Gm Bb F C
Because you were so pretty, oh, hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C
You were so pretty oh hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C
Walk on by, we’re hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C Dm
Walk on by, she’s a red star, she’s a red star
[Bridge]

F
Tell me how did you let them in?
Bb Dm
We were silent secret agents
F
But the resistance is wearing thin
Bm F Bb F
Dissent is now illegal, she must pay the consequence
Bb F C
In this thriller mystery, baby, you are my suspense
Gm Bb F C
Because you were so pretty, yeah, hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C
You were so pretty, oh, hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C
Walk on by, hiding out, hiding out
Gm Bb F C Dm
()
Walk on by, she’s a red star, she’s a red star
Gm Bb F C
You’ve come so far don’t back down now
Gm Bb F C
You’ve come so far don’t back down now
Gm Bb F C
You’ve come so far don’t back down now
Gm Bb F C
You’ve come so far don’t back down now
