Cadd9   G6th    Gmaj7    G  2x

Cadd9         G6th       Gmaj7    G   Cadd9     G6th  Gmaj7    G
He's lived as long as he possibly can given the circumstance
Cadd9          G6th      Gmaj7         G        Cadd9 G6th      Gmaj7    G
'cause he's protected himself from the world he never gave it a chance

             Em      D    G   C
and he says: here in my security
Em                  D                     G            C
I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility

Cadd9            G6th           Gmaj7 G      Cadd9        G6th   Gmaj7    G
She's seen these walls and they never change everything's in its place
Cadd9 G6th        Gmaj7     G        Cadd9     G6th       Gmaj7    G
her relationships so neatly arranged down to religion and race

              Em      D    G   C
and she says: here in my security
Em                  D                         G                       C
I don't make a move unless my friends approve I do what's expected of me

(bridge)
    A7        C                 A7             C
And as I grow older and there's so much that I do not know
    A7                     C          A7                       C
I'm drawn to those who are bolder and go where no one dares to go

(chorus)
      G           Am                    Em
And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been
               D 
  then I'll be free again
      G              Am                    Em                D
And I speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks and back again
      G          Am                       Em              D
And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's 'til I believe again
       G            Am                     Em                 D
Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize
               C              D       G    Am
  that there's got to be some hero in me
             C              D       G    Am
That there's got to be some hero in me
             C              D       G    Am
That there's got to be some hero in me
        Em             D       C   D
There's got to be some hero in me

Cadd9           G6th           Gmaj7   G            Cadd9   G6th Gmaj7    G
They've been suppressing their every desire they do nothing on a whim
Cadd9          G6th        Gmaj7         G
she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
        Cadd9        G6th  Gmaj7    G
  their future looks very  dim

           Em      D    G   C
And I say: here in my security
Em                     D                   G          C
I've simply let myself go I've developed a co-dependency

(bridge)
    A7        C        A7                    C
And as I grow older so many places that I've never been
    A7            C          A7                  C
time's tapping my shoulder I hope it's never too late to begin

(Repeat chorus, end on G)
