Chords for Heroes

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[G] 15 long [E] years on a losing streak and a lot of [A] bodies unburied.
And there comes a [E] time you cannot turn the other [D] cheek.
You have got to [A] ride the ferry.
[E] Past the bedded old bodies of dead, dead dreamers.
Past the tatted and fetid in-depth band schemers.
Past the punks and the drunks and the bad guitar players.
And the dewy-eyed teenage dragon slayers that [D] come to this place. _ _ _ _ _
[A] You can say I _ _ _ _ _ just want to walk with you.
As we do all [E] the things that we know we have to do.
Ever hopeful [D] and ever blue.
We do all the things that we know we have to do.
And now [E] we all know deep down in our hearts.
That someday this will all fall apart.
[D] Oh, for right now.
_ _ _ _ Hey, let's [A] just be heroes. _ _ _ _ _
The telegraph man took a break today.
[D] He pulled out [A] all the wires.
He looked out the window [E] at the rainy, rainy day.
[D] And he wondered about the future [A] by.
[E] As he leaned back in his chair.
With a long, cold, fishy-eyed stare.
He looked [D] like the symbol.
_ _ _ _ Until he remembered.
[A] He said I _ _ _ _ just want to walk with you.
As we do all the [E] things that we know we have to do.
Ever hopeful [D] and ever blue.
We do all the things that we know we have to do.
And now we all [E] know deep down in our hearts.
That someday this will all fall apart.
Oh, [D] for right now.
