 D#
Standing here like
I'm supposed to say something
A#/D
Don't hold your breath,
I never said I'd save you, honey
G#
And I don't want your money.
If I was you, I'd run from me
  A#/D
or rip me open. You'll see you're
 F           Gm
not the only one who's hopeless.

Be sure to put your faith in something more
I'm just a girl and you're not a
s alone as you feel
We all got problems, don't we?
We all need heroes, don't we?
But rest assured, there's not
a single person here who's worthy

D#          A#/D Cm Gm
La, la la la la, la la
Don't let me let you down

Chorus:
G# D#            A#  D#          G#
   Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman
D#                     A#
And if that's what you want
  D#              G#
I hate to let you down
D#                 A#
  I got your hopes up
D#              G#
Now I got you hoping
D#               A#     D#
  That I'm gonna be the one to let you down

Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall
Down from this pedestal
that you keep putting me on
What if I fall on my face?
What if I make a mistake?
If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated

Remember how we used to like ourselves?
What little light that's left,
we need to keep it sacred
I know that you're afraid to
let all the dark escape you
But we can let the light illuminate
these hopeless places

Chorus

Cm A#               D# G#
     La la la la la la
Cm A#               D# G#
     La la la la la la
Cm                    A#
Oh, no, I ain't your hero
D#                       G#
You're wasting all your faith on me
Cm                     A#
Oh, no, I know where this goes
D#                            G#
They can say, they say, your savior
doesn't look a thing like me

La, la la la la la la
Don't let me let you down

Chorus
