G Everybody needs a little place they can hide D somewhere to call their own, don't let nobody inside C G every now and then we all need to let go D for some its the doctor for me its rock and roll C G For some its the bottle for some its the pill C G some people wave the bible cause its givin them a thrill C G others point their finger if they don't like what they see D if you live in a glass house don't be throwing rocks at me Chorus: C G A we all need a little shelter, just a little helper D to get us by C G A we all need a little shelter, just a little helper G and it'll be alright G Check out mr. Politician in his suite and tie D but when the doors ar closed there aint nothin he won't try C G Meanwhile mr. Medicine's treatin his best friend's D wife G Tipper led the war against the record industry C G She said she saw the devil on MTV C G To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key D Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his fantasy chorus G D For some its the needle for some its the kill C G some people wave the bible cause its givin them a thrill C G you can spend your money before you get your pay D with a toss of the dice you can piss it all away
