Hero in Me Lyrics

Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G 2x
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
He's lived as long as he possibly can given the circumstance
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
'cause he's protected himself from the world he never gave it a chance
and he says: here in my security
I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
She's seen these walls and they never change everything's in its place
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
her relationships so neatly arranged down to religion and race
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 dares 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
That there's got to be some hero in me
That there's got to be some hero in me
There's got to be some hero in me
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
They've been suppressing their every desire they do nothing on a whim
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
Cadd9 G6th Gmaj7 G
their future looks very dim
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
(Repeat chorus, end on G)
