[Gb]
[Db] I guess I'd be a [Gb] hero with sword [Bbm] and [Eb] armor clashing, [Gb] looking [Ab] semi-dashing, a shield [Db] within my grip.
Or else I'd be [Gb] a Viking and [Db] live a life [Ebm] of daring while smelling [Ab] like a herring upon
a Viking [Db] ship.
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, [Fm] I'd reach the farthest reaches.
[Db] I'd feel the wind, I'd [Gb] taste the salt [F] and sea, and [Bbm] maybe [Ab]
storm some [Gb] beaches.
That's who I'd be.
[Db] That's who I'd be.
Or I could be [Gb] a poet and [Db] write a [Ebm] different story, one that [Ab] tells of glory and wipes away [Db] the lights.
Into the [Gb] skies I'd throw it, the [Db] stars would [Ebm] do the telling, the moon would [Ab] help with spelling.
And night would [Db] dot the eyes.
I'd write a [Ab] verse, [Db] recite a joke with wit and perfect timing.
I'd share my heart, confess the things I [Fm] yearn, and [Bbm] do it [Ab] all [Db] while rhyming.
But we all [Gb] learn.
[Ab] But we all [B] learn.
An ogre [Gb] always [Db] hides.
An ogre's fate [Gb] is [Db] known.
An ogre [Gb] always [Cm] stays in the dark and all alone.
[Ebm]
[Bb] [D] So yes, I'd be a [G] hero, [D] and if my wish were granted, [G] life would [A] be enchanted.
Or so the [D] stories say.
Of course I'd be a [G] hero, [D] and I would [E] scale a tower to [Bm] save a [A] hothouse flower and carry [G] her away.
But [D] standing guard would [G] be a [Dm] beast.
I'd [Gbm] somehow [G] overwhelm it.
I'd [D] kick the girl, I'd [G] take a breath, and [Gbm] I'd remove my helmet.
[D] We stand and stare, we [G] speak of [D] love, we feel the stars ascending.
We share a kiss, I'd [G] find my [Gb] destiny.
[Bm] I'd have [A] a [D] hero's ending.
[Bm] A [A] perfect [G] happy ending.
[D] That's how it would [Em] be.
A big [D] bright beautiful [G]
[D] world.
But not for me.
[G] An ogre [D] [G] always hides.
An ogre's fate [D] is [Bm] known.
An [G] ogre always [Dbm] stays in the dark and all alone.
[E]
[B] [Eb] I'd be a [Ab] hero, and if my wish were granted, [Eb] [Bb]
life would [Eb] be enchanted.
Of course I'd [Ab] be a hero, and I would scale a tower to [Bb] save a hothouse flower.
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Cm] [Bb] A perfect [Ab] happy ending.
[Fm] That's how [Bb]
it would [Eb] be.
[Ab] [Eb]
