[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
The po[G]lice high- beams froze [Bm]her per
fect face in [D]white glow for a while
[G]The politic bureau's on [Bm]high alert,
[A]and her name showed up on file.
There's [G]trouble with their [Bm]war effort,
[D]she's been speaking out.
[G]Checkpoint Charlie's [Bm]radioed in,
and she's [A]compromised in doubt.
There's [G]trouble with their [Bm]war effort,
and she's [G]crossed the party [D]lines.
[G]You were so [D]pretty in the days
you spoke [A]your mind.

[Verse 2]
[G]You were so pretty, [D]oh.
And [G]you were so pretty, oh.
[D]We're hiding out.
And the [G]files have been filled,
the [Em]regime won't be undermined.
And [G]you were so pretty in [Bm]the days
you spoke [Em]your mind.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Quiet now don't make [Bm]a sound, [G]the system's shut us [D]down,
now we find each [A]other in the underground.
She had [G]the voice once of the people,
[Bm]now she's timi[G]d as a mou[D]se.
[G]I would kiss you o[D]n the mouth
in [A]a safe house.

[Verse 4]
Because, [Em]you were so
pretty, [G]oh.
Hid[D]ing out, hiding [A]out.
You were [Em]so pretty, oh[G].
Hid[D]ing out, we're [A]hiding out.
[Em]Walk on [G]by, we're hid[D]ing out,
we're [A]hiding out.
Walk [Em]on by[G], she's a red st[D]ar.[A]
She's a red [Bm]star.

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Tell me how did you [D]let them in?
We [G]were silent secret [Bm]agents,
but the res[A]istance is wearing thin.
Dis[G]sent is now illeg[Bm]al,
she must [G]pay [D]the consequence,
In this [G]thriller- mystery [D]baby,
you are [A]my suspense.

[Verse 6]
All because, you were [Em]so
[G]pretty, yeah.
[D]Hiding out, [A]hiding out.
You were [Em]so pretty, oh.
Hid[G]ing [D]out, we're hiding out[A].
[Em]Walk on [G]by, [D]hiding out, hiding out.
[A]Walk on by,
she's a red star.

[Verse 7]
(You've come [Em]so far,
[G]don[D]'t back down n[A]ow.) She's a red star.[Em]
[G](You've come so far,
don't back down now.) She's a red [D]star.[A]
(You've come [Em]so far,
[G]don't bac[D]k down now.) A red[A] star.
(You've come [Em]so far,
[Bm]don'[G]t back dow[D]n now.)
