D5                           G5                    D5
He drives into the city and works extra hard all day 
                        E5          A5
He finishes up early so he can get away. 
                      D5
`Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base; 
      G5                D5
Wants Dad to watch him play 
                                   E5              A5
And Daddy knows he's waiting so he hurries on his way 
 
CHORUS 
                G5              A5               D5
'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size 
G5                   F#5       E5              A5
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives 
G5                             D5
No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names But 
   G5                       A5               D5
in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same.   
D5
She rocks her crying baby in the hours before dawn 
 
She whispers words of hope to help her husband to hold on 
 
She takes time for the children making sure they know she cares 
 
She's more than just a Momma, she's the answer to their prayers. 
 
chorus 
      G5                                  D5 
Now I don't pretend to know you but I'll bet it's safe to say 
        G5                                   D5
There's someone out there somewhere looking up to you today And 
     B5                               G5        D5
they see everything you do except for your mistakes You 
G5                 D5              A5
may not think you measure up but you've got all it takes
