     D                         G
It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'

          A                          D
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin'

        Bm                                G
Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'

          E                                 A
While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'

      D             D*     D+ D*
And I can't be your hero today

    D                D*               A
I'm through with the simple games you play

   G                  D              E           A
It just may take some time for me to even up the score

      G             A                 D
But I can't be your soldier home from war
And there you sit shouting that there's still hope for us While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp And I can't be your hero today Your wholesale price is much to high to pay A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love And I can't be your Superman above [interlude: play intro chords] No I can't be your hero today That is all I really want to say
   G                               A
Go find a leading man who wants to play

      G             A      D
And I can't be your hero today
[repeat and fade: D D D+ D* D+ DD D+ D* D+ D]
