Hideaway
guitar chords lyrics
This is of course an 80s song normally performed with synthesizers, but the guitar

To let them know the way he felt inside

His mother she broke down and cried

Why don't you talk to me now?

Are you still proud of your little boy?

The boy he was rejected
By the people that he cared for

You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy?

Learn to be brave
