E                           Emaj9
Sometime after sunset he is on his hands and knees
      E7                          A
He is searching for his keys at a small Vietnamese 
         Am       |E    |  E  |
Place on East 11th Street 
    E                                   Emaj9
His daughters both at once say, "Can we just get going please?"
       E7
As his wife begins to sneeze
        A                        Am             |E     |  E  |
And his son is throwing peas and eating with his feet 

A       E         B5         Ab                 C#m
He's an action hero   and he should be fighting crime
A                   E             Ab             C#m
Leaping between the buildings and racing against time
        A        E           Ab       A
He's an action hero, he's an action hero
       E    | E | A |
In his mind              
A      C#m | C#m | B |
In his mind

| B         |E     | E | A | A         |C#m | C#m | B | B |
     Ohhh oh oh oh              Ohhh oh oh oh

| E | E | E | E |

E                                     Emaj9
He drops by Mount Sinai where they're running through some tests
            E7
And they've taped things to his chest
            A                       Am               E    | E |
And they're all doing their best to make him feel at ease 
    E                                 Emaj9
The doctor says, "It's really just an educated guess.
     E7         
I suggest you get some rest.
       A                               Am                E     | E |
Try to cut back on the stress 'cause I don't like what I see."

A       E        B5 Ab                   C#m
But the action hero swears he feels just fine
A                  E          Ab               C#m    
He's got to finish saving the world for all mankind
        A        E           Ab       A  | Amaj7 | F#m | 
He's an action hero, he's an action hero
         A              E    | E | A | 
And he's racing against time
     A              C#m | C#m | B |
He's racing against time 

| B         |E     | E | A | A         |C#m | C#m | B |
     Ohhh oh oh oh              Ohhh oh oh oh
| B         |E     | E | A | A         |C#m | C#m | B |
     Ohhh oh oh oh              Ohhh oh oh oh
             There goes the action hero (3x)
| B         |E     | E | A | A         |C#m | C#m | B |
     Ohhh oh oh oh              Ohhh oh oh oh
             There goes the action hero (3x)
     B              D   | D | A  | A | E |
He's racing against time               <>
