John Gorka – Heroes (Guitar)

     G                C                 Em
They say that when it comes to choosing heroes

     C                                 D
It's best to pick the ones who aren't around

       C
If you choose among the living

    G       D       Em       C
You tend to have misgivings

               D
When your hero lets you down

   C                D                 G      C Em D
He might have had a bad night in your town

    G    C                Em
And so I will not name my heroes

C                                D
And I'll keep my distance when I can

       C
But if time should bend or break them

  G      D        Em        C
I hope I won't forsake them

                  D
If by chance they need a friend

   C               D        G       C Em D
Or need to walk on ordinary ground

    G                C             Em
God knows it must be tough to be a hero

   C                            D
To wake up in a hero's state of mind

              C                  G
They say it's hard to be heroic

         D     Em       C
It's easier to blow it

                         D
When somebody's watching all the time

           C              D              G      C 
And you're dancing on the thin edge of a dime

              Am       
They say it's hard

   Em
So hard

              Am
They say it's hard, hard

         D
Ain't it hard

   G              C           Em
If someday I'm mistaken for a hero

  C                         D      C
I only hope it's after I am gone

                        G
Some of us are heroes

        D      Em     C
Some of us are zeros

                   D
Wannabes who never were the one

     C               D               G      C Em D
But, who is who when all is said and done?

     G                C                 Em
They say that when it comes to choosing heroes

     C                                 D
It's best to pick the ones who aren't around

       C
If you choose among the living

    G       D       Em       C
You tend to have misgivings

               D
When your hero lets you down

   C                D                 G     C    D
He might have had a bad night in your town

   C                D         C   
He might have had a bad night

                D           C
I hope he has a good night

                   D                  G     C   D
I hope they have a good night in your town

  C             D                  G     C   D   G   D   G
I hope he has a good night in your town
