A                      E
Girl, I could be your Superman
C#m                      B
Yeah, I could leap them tall,
tall buildings for ya
A                  E
Save the day like no one can
C#m  B
If you'd let me

                A
I could stop a train in its tracks
         E
Put the world on my back
   C#m              B
In case you didn't see
              A  E
Here go your hero
         C#m    B
If you'd let me

Chorus:
                           A      E
But tell me, who is gonna rescue me?
          C#m               B
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
               A        E
How you got me on one knee
        C#m                    B
With my hand out, beggin' for mercy

  A                         E
What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl?
           B                   C#m
What's it matter if I save the world?

               A       E
If you don't promise me
            B            C#m
Before you take this ring
            A
And rescue me

  A       E
(Rescue, rescue)
 C#m      B
(Rescue, rescue)

Never thought I'd feel this way
Always thought that love was a villain, baby
But ever since you came around it's different
Those kisses are leaving me defenseless

Chorus:
Who is gonna rescue me?
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
How you got me on one knee
With my hand out a-beggin' for mercy
What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl?
What's it matter if I save the world?
If you don't promise me
Before you take this ring
And rescue me

(Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)
Ooh, baby, rescue me (Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)

         A            E
Stop a train in its tracks
         C#m         B
Put the world on my back
              A   E
Here go your hero-o
             C#m  B
Here go your hero-o

Chorus:
But who is gonna rescue me?
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
How you got me on one knee
With my hand out, beggin' for mercy
Yeah, what's a happy ending if
I can't get the girl?
What's it matter if I save the world?
If you don't promise me
Before you take this ring
And rescue me

(Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)
Mmm, you better rescue me, oh (Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue) Oh-oh, whoa
