You need to tune your guitar up a 
little bit in order to play
along with the recording.  For 
example, the E string needs to be
tuned somewhere between E and F.

(intro)

(1st verse)
He's lived as long as he possibly 
can
given the circumstance
'cause he's protected himself from 
the world
he never gave it a chance

(semi-chorus)
and he says: here in my security
I've put a limit on my 
self-potential and my possibility

(2nd verse)
She's seen these walls and they 
never change
everything's in its place
her relationships so neatly arranged
down to religion and race

(semi-chorus)
and she says: here in my security
I don't make a move unless my 
friends approve
I do what's expected of me

(bridge)
And as I grow older
and there's so much that I do not 
know
I'm drawn to those who are bolder
and go where no one dare to go

(chorus)
And I sleep and I dream of the 
person I might have been
  then I'll be free again
And I speak like someone who's been 
to the highest peaks
  and back again
And I swear that my grass is greener
 than anyone's
  'til I believe again
Then I wake and the dream fades away
 and I face the day
  and I realize that there's got to 
be some hero in me
There's got to be some hero in me
There's got to be some hero in me
There's got to be some hero in me

(3rd verse--same as 2nd)
They've been suppressing their every
 desire
they do nothing on a whim
she's lost her sparkle and he's lost
 the fire
their future looks very dim

(semi-chorus)
And I say: here in my security
I've simply let myself go
I've  developed a co-dependency

(bridge)
And as I grow older
so many places that I've never been
time's tapping my shoulder
I hope it's never too late to begin

(chorus)

Chords are:

       E A D G B E

Emdim/C#  X 4 2 0 2 0

A diminished E minor over C# is just
 a C with the roots
raised 1/2 step.

It helps to know that this song is 
in 6/8 time. Each dash
is a beat.

The low notes of this second verse 
are really for a bass, but you can
use your imagination and pretend 
you're playing one.

      G             Am

         D                    C   
  and I realize that there's got 
          D       G  Am
