[Intro] D Bm A G D D Bm7 A G D [Verse 1]
              Bm               A               G         D
Daddy can you hear me? Can you see me? Can you free me?

                     Bm
I'm shackled to your memory

     A                               G      D
Am I everything that you thought I'd be?

                      D     Dm                 A                      G             D
The day you laid your armor down and took your last breath just keeps replaying now

                  D                     A
I'm doing my best to be strong for everyone around

    G                         D
But tonight I'm breaking down

                   D                   A                              G                   D
Thinking 'bout the lessons you taught, you got your point across with the ways you talked

                   D                    A                              G        D
I watched you move mountains to me, but then I watched you struggle to walk

              Dm             Bm
And every day burns like the last one

A                       G                         D
Hope you forgive me for the times I was a bad son

                      D    Dm      Bm            A          D           D
But Lord, you took my hero from me when you know I only had one ((one)
[Pre-Chorus]
            D         Dm         A
That was my heart you broke

            G                 D
That was my friend you stole

             D     Bm
That was the man.....

     A                 G
That made me who I am......

D                     Bm       A
Now you see this mask I wear

                 G
Out in the sun's despair

D               Bm
Goodbye plans

      A                           G
And I guess I'll never understand......
[Chorus]
D          Bm
Still my hero.....

D          G
Still my hero.....

D          Bm
Still my hero.....

D          G
Still my hero.....
[Instrumental] D Bm D G [Verse 2]
            D                             Bm
Some days I sit and reminisce and I think of the past

          A                                          G
How do we lose something we love and it just happens in a flash?

              D                                  Bm
It's just the cycle of life, I swear it happened so fast

               A                               G
You watched me take my first breath, I watched you take your last

             D                                      Dm
Last night I couldn't sleep so I got up and took me a ride

Bm       A                               G
I took a drive through Antioch, I smoked a joint, and I cried

              D                                      Bm
I watched you stare death in the face without a fear in your eyes

              A                                G
You taught me how I should live, you taught me how I should die

             D                                              Bm
Wish I could have the strength you had as you laid there on that bed

           A                       G
Staring at death, I remember every word that you said

          D                                         Bm
Without a hint of bitterness, you sat there shaking your head

         A                         G
Laughing and telling stories about the life you had led

D                                       Bm
While you was alive is when we gave you flowers

              A                     G
You taught me love is the way a man stays in power

              D                                  Bm
You taught me always be brave and stay away from cowards

       A                        G
I only wish that Heaven had visitation hours

        D                                          Bm
I can't lie, me and my brothers, we've been taking it hard

       A
Lately this is how it is, conversations

N.C.              D
With God is like
[Pre-Chorus]
                      Bm         A
That was my heart you broke

            G                 D
That was my friend you stole

             Dm
That was the man

     D       A     G
That made me who I am......

D                       Bm      A
Now you see this mask I wear

           G                D
Out in the sun's despair

        Bm
Goodbye plans

    A                             G
And I guess I'll never understand......
[Chorus]
D          Bm
Still my hero.....

D          G
Still my hero.....

D          Bm
Still my hero.....

D          G
Still my hero.....
