  • You need to tune your guitar up a little bit in order to play
    along with the recording. For example, the E string needs to be
    tuned somewhere between E and F.

    (intro)
     
  • (1st verse)
    He's lived as long as he possibly can
    given the circumstance
  • 'cause he's protected himself from the world
    he never gave it a chance
     
  • (semi-chorus)
    and he says: here in my security
    I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility
  •  
    (2nd verse)
    She's seen these walls and they never change
  • everything's in its place
    her relationships so neatly arranged
    down to religion and race
  •  
    (semi-chorus)
    and she says: here in my security
  • I don't make a move unless my friends approve
    I do what's expected of me
     
  • (bridge)
    And as I grow older
    and there's so much that I do not know
  • I'm drawn to those who are bolder
    and go where no one dare to go
     
  • (chorus)
    And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been
    then I'll be free again
  • And I speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks
    and back again
    And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's
  • 'til I believe again
    Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day
    and I realize that there's got to be some hero in me
  • There's got to be some hero in me
    There's got to be some hero in me
    There's got to be some hero in me
  •  
    (3rd verse--same as 2nd)
    They've been suppressing their every desire
  • they do nothing on a whim
    she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
    their future looks very dim
  •  
    (semi-chorus)
    And I say: here in my security
  • I've simply let myself go
    I've developed a co-dependency
     
  • (bridge)
    And as I grow older
    so many places that I've never been
  • time's tapping my shoulder
    I hope it's never too late to begin
     
  • (chorus)
     
    Chords are:
  •  
    E A D G B E
    G 3 2 0 0 3 3
  • Am X 0 2 2 1 0
    C X 3 2 0 1 0
    Csus2 X 3 0 0 3 X
  • D 2 0 0 3 2 3
    Em 0 2 2 0 0 0
     
  • E A D G B E
    Emdim/C# X 4 2 0 2 0
     
  • A diminished E minor over C# is just a C with the roots
    raised 1/2 step.
     
  • It helps to know that this song is in 6/8 time. Each dash
    is a beat.
