C
I have saved the world in the movies
Am G F
So naturally there's folks who think I must know what to know
C
But just because you've seen me on your TV
Am G F
Doesn't mean I'm any more enlightened than you
G Am
And while there's a part of me
F
In that guy you've seen
C
Up there on that screen
G
I am so much more
C G F
And I wish I knew the things you think I do
C G/B Am
I would change this world for sure
Dm C G
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
F
Sorry to disappoint you
C
But I'm real
C
I'd love to help the world and all its problems
Am G F
But I'm an entertainer, and that's all
C
So the next time there's an asteroid or a natural disaster
Am G
I'm flattered that you thought of me
Fsus2
But I'm not the one to call

And while there's a part of me

Sorry to disappoint you
