Hero Chords

[Intro]
A    Em   G    D    
 
[Verse 1]
A                  Em
 Little girl, only seventeen years old
G                    D
Life just got in the way
                   A
Don't know what to say
                     Em
She's heard it all before
                     G
Lying on her bedroom floor
                 D
Thinking my life has to be worth more
A                        Em
She dreams of going to New York City
           G
Her heart's already there
        D
But her head's fighting a war
A                  Em
 Little girl, only seventeen years old
G                           D
Looking for a star but it's just too dark
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     A                         Em
When streams get a little bit wider
           G                      D
And it's hard to swim across the water
          A                      Em
And the scars get a little bit deeper
D        G                D
 And a flame turns into a fire
  A                      Em
Tonight whеn you need a way home
            G                    D
Someone to lеan on, some kind of hero
     A                           Em
It's there when you look in the mirror
             G
Staring back at you
 
[Chorus]
                  A
There's a hero in you
     Em
You, you
     G  D
You, you
                  A
There's a hero in you
     Em
You, you
     G  D
You, you
                  A
There's a hero in you
 
[Verse 2]
                 Em
Old man trying to make it on his own
G                              D
Looking at the space where his wife once was
A                   Em
 Wants to find just something to believe in
G                        D
 He hears a knock at the door this evening
A                       Em             G
She says I'm going to New York City to follow my dreams
 D
Would you come with me?
A                  Em
 Little girl, only seventeen years old
G                           D
Looking at the stars in her granddad's eyes
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                         Em
And streams get a little bit wider
       G                     D
But together they cross the river
          A                     Em
And the scars get a little bit lighter
D          G                  D
 And the sky looks a little brighter
  A                       Em
Tonight when you need a way home
            G                    D
Someone to lеan on, some kind of hero
     A                           Em
It's there when you look in the mirror
             G
Staring back at you
 
[Chorus]
                  A
There's a hero in you
     Em
You, you
     G  D
You, you
                  A
There's a hero in you
     Em
You, you
     G  D
You, you
                  A
There's a hero in you
 
[Outro]
      Em   G    D
