Not Worth Hiding Tabulatur von Alex The Astronaut (für Baryton)

This was transposed from the guitar chords- for chords that sound most like the original, transpose down 5 half-steps! :)

Eb                                Ab
I learned to drive to school when I was 16
          Cm                                   Bb
and I was happy with my friends and we skipped class for time to breathe
   Eb                              Ab
We learned about the stars and the trees
  Cm                         Bb
I cried when I found kissing boys wasn't for me

     Eb                       Ab
So I tried every trick in the book
        Cm
I tried talking to the pretty boys
  Bb
I changed the way I looked
            Eb                              Ab
But wearing dresses to impress just left me lonely and upset
        Cm                                            Bb
And the boys could tell when I looked at her I wasn't interested in them


Eb                                  Ab
It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say
         Cm                          Bb
And it's not worth smiling if you're feeling in pain and it's
Eb                      Ab
Not worth hiding if you think you might be gay
   Cm
Or different in another way
       Bb
You're perfect just the same


Eb Ab Cm Bb


  Eb                      Ab
I opened the paper and it left me ashamed
               Cm                                      Bb
Said "These contagious gays aren't safe and you should keep your kids away"
          Eb                      Ab  
But I got older and bolder and my friends caught on slowly
    Cm                        Bb
Nineteen and we threw all the weight from my shoulders, we sang:

Eb                                  Ab
It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say
         Cm                          Bb
And it's not worth smiling if you're feeling in pain and it's
Eb                      Ab
Not worth hiding if you think you might be gay
   Cm
Or different in another way
       Bb
You're perfect just the same


Eb Ab Cm Bb


Eb         Ab
So tell me anyone
       Cm                                Bb
If you love them as a daughter could you love them as a son
       Eb
We all smile at different faces
       Ab
We all blush at different names
    Cm                                  Bb
But holding someone's hand should never make you feel ashamed 


Eb Ab Cm Bb


Eb                         Ab
Your story might not be at all like mine
        Cm
I don't mean to simplify
                       Bb
This should be in your own voice, in your own time
        Eb                                Ab
But the cages that they've made us should soon just rust away
         Cm
And this song just won't need singing
        Bb
But for now I'll let it play


Eb                                  Ab
It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say
         Cm                      Bb
And it's not worth dying for the people who don't smile at your name
Eb                             Ab
It's not worth lying if you're feeling in pain
         Cm                      Bb
And it's not worth hiding, cause happiness
                Eb
Could be on the way
