B E F# B I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom E F# B He was doing lines or something in the bathroom E F# B E F# I barely recognized him at all I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower I barely recognized him at all Chorus: B G#m E That night I put my youth in a casket And buried it inside of me That night I saw through all the magic Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero I burned all the pictures in the attic And threw away the magazines That night I saw through all the magic And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck The things you said to girls, well they were shameless I barely recognized him at all I tried to help but he said he was just too far from saving And nothing I could say was gonna change him I barely recognized him at all Chorus The death of a hero, he couldn't be saved Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave I'll cover his grave The death of a hero, I'm turning the page Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave I'll cover his grave Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsE  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
