E D This ain’t no place for losers or the innocent of mind, C#m D E it’s a full time job for anyone to stay alive. E D The streets have satellite boundaries, for the war that’s never won, C#m D E A what a wasteland for broken dreams and hired guns. Chorus: E C#m Shelter me, baby, shelter me, C D E when I’m sinking down and losing ground, shelter me! I’ve got to sleep with one eye open, the other holds my tears, in the darkness I can hide my heart but none of my fears. In the morning, like a soldier I’ll approach the battleground, another day, another dollar bill, and the world goes round. Chorus: Shelter me Won't you shelter me When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground Shelter me Won't you shelter me Oh, shelter me When I lose control Of my own home Shelter me Every time time I tumble down I want to pack it up and leave this town But when I finally get the nerve Get cleared out of the shoes I'm thanking you I'm thanking you Chorus: Baby shelter me Please shelter me When I'm sitting down, and losing ground Shelter me Won't you shelter me When I lose control Am I alone Shelter me Won't you shelter me Oh, shelter me Baby please Oh, shelter me Stay back and shelter me Come on and shelter me When I lose control Am I alone Shelter me | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  C  C#m  D  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
