E    C#m              E        C#m
Too alarming now, to talk about
E          C#m                 E         C#m
Take your pictures down, and shake it out
E         C#m          E       C#m
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
E        C#m        E        C#m
Use that evidence, race it around

Chorus:
A
There goes my hero
                 E
Watch him as he goes
A
There goes my hero
            E
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them, bleed it out
While the rest of them, peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

Chorus

Kudos my hero, leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

Chorus - x2
