C7
We were close

We were close, I would go
F
Take a bullet to my head
C7
You should know

You should know, you were my bro
F                 C7
Always had your back

At the least, we coulda talked about it
F
But you found another way to get around it
C7
Had to let you go, let you go
F
You don't get another chance
Dm        Em             F
When your hero hits the ground


[Chorus]
                      C7
Why'd you have to be human?
                          F
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
              Am
How could you do it?
            F
Building me up just to bring me back down
    C7
Had all these visions in my head
      F
And I thought you were a friend
                     Am
Why'd you have to be human?
            F
Building me up just to let me down


[Post-Chorus]
               C7
Just to let me down, down, down

D-down, down, d-d-down
F
Down, down, down, d-down


[Verse 2]
C7
I was young

I was young, I was dumb
F
Now I'm putting up these walls
C7
Smartened up

Smartened up, now I'm done
F
Watching all my idols fall


[Refrain]
Dm        Em            F
When your hero hits the ground


[Chorus]
                     C7
Why'd you have to be human?
                          F
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
              Am
How could you do it?
            F
Building me up just to bring me back down
    C7
Had all these visions in my head
      F
And I thought you were a friend
                     Am
Why'd you have to be human?
            F
Building me up just to let me down


[Post-Chorus]
               C7
Just to let me down, down, down

D-down, down, d-d-down
F
Down, down, down, d-down
                      C7
Why you'd have to be human?

Down, down, down, d-down
F
Down, down, down, d-down


[Bridge]
                      Dm
Why you'd have to be human?
Em                                     F
At the least we coulda talked about it
                                          Dm
But you found another way to get around it
Em                                     F
At the least we coulda talked about it


[Chorus]
                     C7
Why'd you have to be human?
                           F
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
              Am
How could you do it?
            F
Building me up just to bring me back down
    C7
Had all these visions in my head
      F
And I thought you were a friend
                     Am
Why'd you have to be human?
            F
Building me up just to let me down


[Post-Chorus]
               C7
Just to let me down, down, down

D-down, down, d-d-down
F
Down, down, down, d-down
                     C7
Why you'd have to be human?

Down, down, down, d-down
C7
D-down, down, d-d-down
F
Down, down, down, d-down
