Intro: G  C  Em   C   D    

     G                C                 Em 
They say that when it comes to choosing heroes 
     C                                 D 
It's best to pick the ones who aren't around 
       C 
If you choose among the living 
    G       D       Em       C 
You tend to have misgivings 
               D 
When your hero lets you down 
   C                D                 G      C Em D 
He might have had a bad night in your town 


    G    C                Em 
And so I will not name my heroes 
C                                D 
And I'll keep my distance when I can 
       C 
But if time should bend or break them 
  G      D        Em        C 
I hope I won't forsake them 
                  D 
If by chance they need a friend 
   C               D        G       C Em D 
Or need to walk on ordinary ground 


    G                C             Em 
God knows it must be tough to be a hero 
   C                            D 
To wake up in a hero's state of mind 
              C                  G 
They say it's hard to be heroic 
         D     Em       C 
It's easier to blow it 
                         D 
When somebody's watching all the time 
           C              D              G      C  
And you're dancing on the thin edge of a dime 


Bridge: 
              Am        
They say it's hard 
   Em 
So hard 
              Am 
They say it's hard, hard 
         D 
Ain't it hard 


INTERLUDE: G  C  Em   C   G D 


   G              C           Em 
If someday I'm mistaken for a hero 
  C                         D      C 
I only hope it's after I am gone 
                        G 
Some of us are heroes 
        D      Em     C 
Some of us are zeros 
                   D 
Wannabes who never were the one 
     C               D               G      C Em D 
But, who is who when all is said and done? 


     G                C                 Em
