 Left me a E/Afool B/A A E F♯ A B Bsus4

Everybody loves a hero, an image to create

The antithesis of everything inside ourselves we hate

But you better close your eyes when it's time for them to die

'Cause you'd hate to think the life you'd built upon them was a lie

Ohhh, to reach through all your surface

Just to find an empty pool

And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side

And you swallowed up my heart, and left me a fool

Left me a fool

I resign myself to silence, I will never blow your cover

No one ever has to know who the hero took for lover

But it comes to mind as you blaze on, as brilliant as a star

How many you've left behind, how many casualties there are

Ohhh, to reach through all your surface

Just to find an empty pool

And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side

And you swallowed up my heart, and left me a fool

 Left me a E/Afool B/A A E F♯ A B E

NOTE: These chords are hard. I usually play this song 3 half-steps above the

way it's written here (i.e., in the key of G). You can't pick it correctly in

G, but the chords are far easier.
