Standard (EADGBE)

Just an ordinary man

Thrown into a life I didn't plan

Suddenly my world has changed

I'm unprepared to make my way

My resolve is growing weak

So unsure of who I'm supposed to be

The one who takes the noble path

Or the one who wants what he can never have

 And I'm hardly the hero

This is the only thing I know to do

To make it through

But I need you to believe

 That beneath this bravado

I'd still give anything to have a chance

To get you back

And I'm hardly a hero for that

Exuberant and terrified

Every time I look into your eyes

But I can't entertain the thought No

Cuz we both know I'm not the man you thought I was

Chorus

Bridge

The ones I love will always be

 The ones who pay the price

 And so I set aside my dreams

 To do the thing that's right

 And keep it all inside
