Hero in Me Jeffrey Gaines
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: [Em]here in [D]my se[G]curi[C]ty
[Em]I've put a limit on [D]my self-potential and [G]my possibilit[C]y
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: [Em]here in [D]my se[G]curi[C]ty
[Em]I don't make a move [D]unless my friends approve [G]I do what's expected of [C]me
(bridge)
And [A7]as I grow [C]older and there's [A7]so much that I [C]do not know
I'm [A7]drawn to those who are [C]bolder and [A7]go where no one dares to [C]go
(chorus)
And I [G]sleep and I [Am]dream of the person I [Em]might have been
then I'll be [D]free again
And I [G]speak like some[Am]one who's been to the [Em]highest peaks and [D]back again
And I [G]swear that [Am]my grass is greener than [Em]anyone's 'til I [D]believe again
Then I [G]wake and the [Am]dream fades away and I [Em]face the day and I [D]realize
that there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
That there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
That there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
There's [Em]got to be some [D]hero in [C]me[D]
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: [Em]here in [D]my se[G]curi[C]ty
[Em]I've simply let myself [D]go I've developed a [G]co-dependen[C]cy
(bridge)
And [A7]as I grow [C]older so [A7]many places that I've [C]never been
time[A7]'s tapping my [C]shoulder I [A7]hope it's never too [C]late to begin
(Repeat chorus, end on G)
