@SONG I Can't Be Your Hero Today By: Jimmy Buffett

(See below for explanation of chord symbols)

Intro: D@ D+ D* D D@ D+ D* D+ D* D

It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin' With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin' Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin' While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'

D D* D+ D* And I can't be your hero today D D* A I'm through with the simple games you play It just may take some time for me to even up the score But I can't be your soldier home from war

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 find a leading man who wants to play And I can't be your hero today

Repeat And Fade: D D D+ D* D+ Dd D+ D* D+ D
