C                                       C7
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit,
F                                           F7
You can comb your hair and look a quite cute.

You can hide your face behind a smile.
A7                  D7
One thing you can't hide,
G                          C
Is when you're crippled inside.

You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside

               Am
Well know you know,
That your cat has nine lives, babe.
D7                    G 
Nine lives to itself,
C
You only got one,
C                          Am7
And a dog's life ain't fun.
C                 G   C
Mamma take a look outside.

You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
Take it, cousin!

C
Take it Billy!

Well know you know,
That your cat has nine lives, babe.
Nine lives to itself,
You only got one,
And a dog's life ain't fun.
Mamma take a look out-side.

You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside

One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
