^GHere ^CI ^Bstand I'm ^Ejust a ^Abm7shell of a man and only a ^Ekiss ago I was yesterday's ^Gbhero. When ^Abm7you were mine I had it ^Dbmade, I was the ^Abm7leader of the big ^Dbparade. Now, ^Ebmlook at me, ^AbI'm yesterday's ^Bhero, ^Gbhero.

^BHow their cheers used to ^Dbsing in my ^Abears. With you walking ^Eby my side I was a conquering ^Gbhero. ^Abm7But no one even says, ^Dbhello, they say that ^Abm7idols come and idols ^Dbgo. Well, ^EbmI oughta know, ^AbI'm yesterday's ^Bhero, ^Gbhero.

Now, the ^Abm7glamour and the glory's ^Dbgone. But will the ^Abm7story of our love live ^Dbon? Or ^Ebmfade away ^Ablike yesterday's ^Bhero? ^GbLike yesterday's ^Abm7hero, yeah, yesterday's ^Bhero?
