[Verse]
C
When I walk down the street,
F
See the people who stop and stare and say
                                          G
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
C
When I walk down the street,
F
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"

With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
                                    G
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello

[Pre-Chorus]
E    F    F#
They say:
G                              E F F#
Haven't I seen your face before
G                                              E F F#
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
G                                    E F F#
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
G                       
Haven't I seen you round

[Chorus]
C                                  G
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
            F                     C
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be.
                                   G
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
                F                 C         G
And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be
     F               G
If I don't get together,
C          G            F            G
Make a new start and be somebody better,
F             G       F               G  C
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.

[Verse]
C
When you walk down the street,
F
If you know me, then pass me by,

If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
        G
I don't read the news.
C
When you walk down the street,
F
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,

If you followed my story, then just be glad,
          G
You ain't in my shoes

[Pre-chorus]
E F  F#
Because
G                              E F F#
Haven't you seen my face before,
G                                            E F F#
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
G                                   E F F#
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
G                        
Haven't you seen me round.

[Chorus]
C                                  G
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
            F                     C
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be.
                                   G
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
                F                 C         G
And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be
     F               G
If I don't get together,
C          G            F            G
Make a new start and be somebody better,
F             G       F               G  C
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
