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)
