- [Intro: D@ D+ D* D D@ D+ D* D+ D* D]
-
- 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

- 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
-
