[Verse]
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 it's the doctor, for me it's rock and roll
G B7
For some it's a bottle, for some it's a pill
C G
Some people wave the bible cause it's giving them a thrill
C G
Others point their finger if they don't like what they see
A D
If you live in a glass house, don't be throwing rocks at me
[Chorus]
C G
We all need a little shelter
A D
Just a little helper to get us by
C G
We all need a little shelter
A D G
Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright
[Verse]
G
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
D
But when the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try
C G D
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife
G B7
Tipper led the war against the record industry
C G
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
C G
To look into the cabinet, it takes more than a key
A D
Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his ministry
[Chorus]
C G
We all need a little shelter
A D
Just a little helper to get us by
C G
We all need a little shelter
A D G
Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright
D
Hit it now

For some it's the needle, for some it's the kill
C G
Some people wave the bible cause it's giving them a thrill
C G
You can spend your money before you get your pay
A D N.C.
With a toss of the dice, you can piss it all away
[Chorus]

We all need a little shelter

Just a little helper to get us by

Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright
