Dion – An American Hero (Guitar)

G                         C
We saw the lights go down across the land

G                              C
We were waiting for someone to take a stand

Em                            C
And there was no one there to hear the call

Em                  C
No one listening to us at all

C   D    G           G/F#    Em

C        D                 Em      Em7 C D
Who will stand up tall for everyone

G                               C
I grew up in a little town just off the grid

G                                   C
We didn't have a dime to spend but, no one did

Em                        C
We watched the world from far away

Em                    C
It was growing darker every day-yay

C   D    G           G/F#    Em

G                        C
We weren't big enough to change the scenes

G                      C
That was for people in those magazines

Em                          C
But what if no one stood to play the part

Em                       C
But what if no one had a heroes' heart

Am                   D
Why are waiting from afar

Am                  D
Let's be the heroes that we are

G                             C
Maybe we'll change the world, we'll never see

G                          C
Unless we try to change it you and me

Em                             C
It's time to stand up here and dare for more

Em                         C
Become the hero we've been waiting for
