Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  ]

 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'

 And I can't be your hero today

 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

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
