[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
 When I was young, I'm thinkin' 'bout what Life would be

Em
  In black and white, playing on our old TV

C
 You never failed me, you were all I needed to know

D
 On your white horse, you were my hero

G                               Em
 All that lady, girl of my childhood dreams

                                           C
The guy in black was always chasing her it seems

                                    D
But, I never worried vertue triumph in the end

                               G
And now I cheered you way back then
[Chorus]
G
 All those movies in black and white

       Em
It was easy to tell the wrong from right

          C
Where the bad guy loses in the end

        D
And the good guy win the lady's hand

   G
We still need you if the truth were known

            Em
The color's fine and they improved the tone

         C
But, I'd rather get the ending right

         D                                     G
We still need heroes, heroes in black and white
[Verse 2]
G
 Now I'm older and the world is a different place to see

Em
  The black and white looks a little grey to me

C
 And I have changed, cause there has been some compromised

D
 And the lady looks a little sad but wise

G
 Late at night, far past the news at 10

Em
 They're on the re-runs, riding for the truth again

C                                               D
 Sometimes I see you and I'm sure it's time you win the fight

             G
I still need heroes, heroes in black and white
[Chorus]
G
 All those movies in black and white

       Em
It was easy to tell the wrong from right

          C
Where the bad guy loses in the end

        D
And the good guy wins the lady's hand

         G
We still need you if the truth were known

            Em
The color's fine and they improved the tone

         C                          D
But, I'd rather get the ending right

                    G
We still need heroes
