Am Am/G Am/F# F/C [Intro] F/C F/G G6 F/C F/G G6 [Verse 1]
F/C              F/G               G6        F/C
There's nothing funny about just slipping away

             F/G               G6              F/C
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days

           F/G              G6       Am   D
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival

F/C            F/G                     G6     F/C
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town

             F/G             G6       F/C
I heard your bottle talking way too loud

          F/G              G6        Am
As the Federales tried to hunt you down

                  D                       F/C
For something you can't remember what was about
[Chorus]
Am          Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the

Am/F#                   F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off

Am        Am/G           Am/F# 
He's a superhero growing bored

               F/C
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 2]
F/C        F/G               G6         F/C
I used to watch you on the late night scene

           F/G          G6    F/C
The timely rescue of a metal teen

    F/G                     G6         Am
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead

                  D
And that hadn't occurred to me

F/C     F/G            G6  F/C
When I met you I was 22

       F/G         G6      F/C
Trying so hard to play it cool

              F/G             G6        Am
But there was so much that I needed to say

                 D             F/C
And nothing came out the right way
[Chorus]
Am          Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the

Am/F#                   F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off

Am        Am/G           Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored

               F/C
With no one to save anymore

Am          Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the

Am/F#                   F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off

Am        Am/G           Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored

               F/C
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 3]
F/C              F/G         G6      F/C
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk

             F/G              G6        F/C
It's nothing righteous being 60 and a punk

                F/G             G6            Am
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see

                  D
That kid that you used to be?

F/C        F/G           G6      F/C
Broke and working in a record store

   F/G                 G6       F/C
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour

         F/G      G6            Am
Were you happier when you were poor?

         D                     F/C
Were you happier when you were poor?
[Chorus]
Am          Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the

Am/F#                  F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off

Am        Am/G           Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored

               F/C
With no one to save anymore

Am          Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the

Am/F#                   F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off

Am        Am/G           Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored

               F/C
With no one to save anymore
[Outro] F/C F/G
