D                           G                    D
He drives into the city and works extra hard all day 
                        E          A
He finishes up early so he can get away. 
                      D
`Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base; 
      G                D
Wants Dad to watch him play 
                                   E              A
And Daddy knows he's waiting so he hurries on his way 
 
CHORUS 
                G              A               D
'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size 
G                   F#m       Em              A
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives 
G                             D
No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names But 
   G                       A               D
in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same.   
D
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 
      G                                  D 
Now I don't pretend to know you but I'll bet it's safe to say 
        G                                   D
There's someone out there somewhere looking up to you today And 
     Bm                               G        D
they see everything you do except for your mistakes You 
G                 D              A
may not think you measure up but you've got all it takes
