Just wanted to mention that Ben did not write this song nor does ever perform it. Hiding in Your Hands is a cut song from Dear Evan Hansen and is written & performed by Mallory Betchtel.
@Ivy is right. Ben Platt didn’t write this, but Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Paul did. It’s sung by Malory Betchell. I don’t see why this hasn’t been changed yet. D:<<<
I love this so much <3
For my fellow tenors, -3 is a perfect key for me! 🙂 PLUR!

This is an amazing song! It’s fairly easy to play, and it sounds GREAT with uke!!!
Loveeee
What are some accurate strumming patterns?
+1 is more accurate to the original but a lot harder
Capo 1 sounds more accurate :3
I play it D DDU
If you play on a concert ukulele, use the transpose 0 chords, with a capo on the first fret. That way it sounds more like the soprano that’s used to play this. Also strumming pattern: DDUX UDU
If you want you can transpose it to +1 but i find its easiest just to play the regular version with a capo on the first fret. It goes perfectly if you play along with the sound track 🙂
how have i never heard of this song before??
