         G#            D#
All the lies she has seen
         Cm             A#
All the meaner side of me
            G#               D#         A#
They took away the profits dream for a profit on the street
            D#/G              G#
Now she's stronger than you know
             A#
A heart of steel starts to grow

All his life, he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show
Because he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

Chorus:
                                 G#        D#
When you've been fighting for it all your life
                          Cm          A#
You've been struggling to make things right
                        G#         D# A#
That's how a superhero learns to fly
                            G#        D#
When you've fighting for it all your life
                           Cm      A#
You've been working every day and night
                        G#         D# A#
That's how a superhero learns to fly

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You'll see fire in their eyes
Because they're stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

Chorus:
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power

           G#
She's got lion in her heart
   D#
A fire in her soul
              Cm
He's a got a beast in his belly
           A#
That's so hard to control
               G#
Cause they've taken too much hits
         D#
Taking blow by blow
     A#
Now light them match up like watch them explode

           Fm
She's got lion in her heart
    Gm
A fire in her soul
              D#
He's a got a beast in his belly
           A#
That's so hard to control
               D#/G
Cause they've taken too much hits
         G#
Taking blow by blow
     A#
Now light them match up like watch them explode

Chorus:
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
