Intro: Am C D C

          Am  
You need rhino skin
                 C
If you're gonna begin
     D                  C        Am           
To walk through this world 

You need elephant balls
                       C
If you don't want to crawl
          D                   C         Am
On your hands through this world

 C                Am
Oh my love if I reveal 
 C                   Am
Every secret I've concealed
 C                   Am
How many thoughts would you steal
    G 
How much of my pain would you feel

You need eagle's wings
To get over things
That make no sense in this world

You need rhino skin 
If you're gonna pretend
You're not hurt by this world

If you listen long enough 
You can hear my skin grow tough
Love is painful to the touch
Must be made of stronger stuff

You need rhino skin 
To get to the end 
Of the maze through this world

Am  Am/G  Am/F#  Am/F
You need rhino skin
Or you're gonna give in
To the needles and pins
The arrows of sin
The evils of men
You need rhino skin
