It's ^Cnever been the same since ^Fyou returned from dreamin' With your ^Gnursery rhyme excuses your ^Cpicture postcards gleamin' Tellin' ^Ameveryone who looks your way 'bout ^Fpeople and their sinnin' While you ^Dleft field verse is fallin' in pro^Gportion to your winnin'

C C* C+ C* And I can't be your hero today C C* G I'm through with the simple games you play

It ^Fjust may take some ^Ctime for me to ^Deven up the ^Gscore But I ^Fcan't be your ^Gsoldier home from ^Cwar

And there you sit shouting that there's still hope for us While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp And I can't be your hero today Your wholesale price is much to high to pay A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love And I can't be your Superman above [interlude: play intro chords] No I can't be your hero today That is all I really want to say

Go ^Ffind a leading man who wants to ^Gplay And I ^Fcan't be your ^Ghero to^Cday
