[Verse 1]
N.C.                   C
There was a hero in my house

         F
I really miss her

                  C
That's her on the porch

                          G
Right there, holding my sister

                       C
Used to wake me up for school

               F
Helped put on my clothes

             C
Lunch in the fridge

                     G        C
Wrapped in foil to stay cold

                       F
And then she walked me out

               C
The hero in my house
[Chorus]
       F
Now my heart

                 Am
It's locked in a cage

                 C
Thrown into the river

                  G
I can't help this rage

            F  N.C.
Sometimes I wonder

                          Am
What she's doing up there now

                      F
Do they see her like we do?

    G           C
The hero in our house
[Verse 2]
                        C
Yeah we're all a little numb

                   F
That's not the intention

                   C
The things that we saw

                        G
Just hurt too much to mention

               C
I hurt for the pain

              F
Hurt and I'm grieving

              C
Oddest thing is

                        G     C
There's just no getting even

                  F
Her body took her out

                C
The hero in our house
[Chorus]
         F
Now this heart

                 Am
It's locked in a cage

                 C
Thrown into the river

                  G
I can't help this rage

            F  N.C.
Sometimes I wonder

                          Am
What she's doing up there now

                      F
Do they see her like we do?

    G           C
The hero in our house
[Interlude] Am F C F C [Verse 3]
                        C
Some things you can't forget

                      F
Some folks you don't either

              C
Can try to outrun pain

                       G
You stop and feel the fever

              C
I need to get drunk

             F
Feeling so crazy

                 C
I need to get work done

                      G   C
But then I just get lazy

                    F
If she could see me now

                C
The hero in our house

                  F
It really gets me down

               C
It really bums me out
[Chorus]
         F
Now this heart

                 Am
It's locked in a cage

                C
Thrown into the river

                  G
I can't help this rage

                F  N.C.
But sometimes I wonder

                          Am
What she's doing up there now

                      F
Do they see her like we do?

    G           C
The hero in our house
[Outro]
                        C
There was a hero in our house

                F
Sent down from heaven

              C
Then she went back

                        G
'Fore the age of sixty-seven

                       C
But she told us all goodbye

              F
Told us she was proud

    C                   F
And that's how she went out

    G           C
The hero in our house
