Hes No Hero

Em              Em
It’s another 6 am as he stumbles in again
        D                          C
And my mother cries don’t wake the children
Em
Through the tears I can hear him say
Em
Didn’t have much luck today
        D                   C
But he really knows he just threw it away
             C
He finds the answers at the bottom of a bottle
        Em
And his life is always fully on the throttle
         C
And he’s slowly turning out just like his father
        D
And he knows


             G  D
That he’s no hero
         Em             C
But he’s doing what he can
G         D                C
Trying to make me a better man
            G  D
And he’s no hero
        Em            C
But he made me what I am
G       D        C               Em
Stopped me from becoming another you


Em
Daddy couldn’t save himself
Em
No one ever cared to help
        D
And he looked at me
           C
as what he could have been
Em
Now I know what I’ve got to be
Em
Everything to make him proud of me
        D                     C
With my second chance that he never had
          C
Cause his dreams are at the bottom of his bottle
         Em
And he’s never gonna be who he oughta
         C
And he’s just a living image of his father
       D
And he knows



             G  D
That he’s no hero
         Em             C
But he’s doing what he can
G         D                C
Trying to make me a better man
            G  D
And he’s no hero
        Em            C
But he made me what I am
G       D        C               Em
Stopped me from becoming another you


D                              C
The dead-end road on which I’m runnin’
                     Em
It’s like he already knew
D                               C
He lived the pain that would be comin’

And I’m proud to say that he is my father
         D
And it’s ok


             G  D
That he’s no hero
         Em            C
But he’s doing what he can
G         D                C
Trying to make me a better man
            G  D
But he’s no hero
       Em             C
But he made me what I am
G       D       C
Stopped me from becoming
G       D       C
Stopped me from becoming
G       D       C
Stopped me from becoming

Em

Another you
