Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G 2x
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
He's lived as long as he possibly can given the circumstance
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
'cause he's protected himself from the world he never gave it a chance
EmDGC
and he says: here in my security
EmDGC
I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
She's seen these walls and they never change everything's in its place
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
her relationships so neatly arranged down to religion and race
EmDGC
and she says: here in my security
EmDGC
I don't make a move unless my friends approve I do what's expected of me
(bridge)
A7CA7C
And as I grow older and there's so much that I do not know
A7CA7C
I'm drawn to those who are bolder and go where no one dares to go
(chorus)
GAmEm
And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been
D
then I'll be free again
GAmEmD
And I speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks and back again
GAmEmD
And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's 'til I believe again
GAmEmD
Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize
CDGAm
that there's got to be some hero in me
CDGAm
That there's got to be some hero in me
CDGAm
That there's got to be some hero in me
EmDCD
There's got to be some hero in me
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
They've been suppressing their every desire they do nothing on a whim
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
their future looks very dim
EmDGC
And I say: here in my security
EmDGC
I've simply let myself go I've developed a co-dependency
(bridge)
A7CA7C
And as I grow older so many places that I've never been
A7CA7C
time's tapping my shoulder I hope it's never too late to begin
(Repeat chorus, end on G)
