Verse 1
F        (or tab same as introduction)
Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities,

    Am        G             F                F
But I could make out as if I had it but you don’t,

Am          G              F           F              G            
God I’m so obvious and I should let it go oh I don’t know.

I’m nobody’s hero.
Verse 2 G (or tab same as introduction) Preserved and shy your average guy, no piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair,
    Am         G            F          F 
But I always figured I was somebody in wake,

Am            G                F             F             G  
  And now I’m guessing that my woman must be late cause I need her.

I’m suburban and typical,

F              G    F       F                   G    F
But I got it, I got I’m overrun with it all.
Verse 3
F
Seductive charm a way with words so effortless not leather clad or dangerous,

    Am       G             F             F
But I always did it like a real rebel would,

Am        G                F                F                               
  I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood, 

          G
or so I’m told.
