Hiding Out (1985)
(Pete Townshend)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capo 1st fret

INTRO
| D | G | D | G |

Lead to darkness, leading home
In the midnight of a soul’s unsleeping
Hear the waterfall of women weeping
Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling
Hear the prostituted children calling (calling out)

A D A(?) G
Of a winter’s night, without a moon
I am safe – hidden here (I am safe – hidden here)
| D | G | D | G | D | G |
Hiding out

I look over chequered fields
And the towering web of steel
Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling
While the empty churches’ bells are pealing
And the green hills lay ignored, untended
The lonely watchers remain unbefriended

And out in the one-way streets
A D A(?) G
Is a swelling maze, without a door
I am safe – hidden here (I am safe – hidden here)
| D | G |
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here, I am safe
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here

(repeat and fade â?’ voc ad lib)

Face the Face | guitar crd
By Pete Townshend
Written by Pete Townshend (c)1985 Eel Pie Publishing Ltd.

Face the face-got to face the face
Face the face-got to face the face

You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
And the ghosts of failures sprayed up on the wall

We’ve got to judge the judge, we’ve got to find the finds
We’ve got to scheme the schemes, we’ve got to line the lines
We must stake the stakes, we’ve got to show the shown
We’ve got to take the takes, we’ve got to know the known

Try to place the place where we can face the face
(We’ve got to face the face)
Try to place the place where we can face the face

You must have tried and defied belief
Maybe found futility in insular grief
I need your hunger, you need mine
A million miles can swallow up time

We’ve got to fool the fools, we’ve got to plan the plans
We’ve got to rule the rules, we’ve got to stand the stands
We’ve got to fight the fight, we must fall the falls
We’ve got to light the light, we’ve gotta call the calls

We must race the race so we can face the face
(We’ve got to race the race)
We must race the race so we can face the face

Keep lookin’….
New York! Chicago! London and Glasgow!
Keep looking!

Keep on cooking, keep on looking, gotta stay on this case
Study the pix, watch the fix, we’ve got to find the face

(Watch the flicks)

Try to place the place where we can face the face (2x)
We must race the race so we can face the face (4x)
