D When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world A/C# Running 'round and chasing all the criminals Bm Swinging on a web, flying in the sky A Bm C# D Em Shooting lasers from my eyes But now I know it never was my destiny It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame And I don't wanna wear this cape Bm A/C# 'Cause on the inside (on the inside), I know it won’t last D Em On the inside (on the inside), I’m an outcast Chorus: D F#m Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else Bm I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, D/C# D A yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah D F#m You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself Bm I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, D/C# D A yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery But life is hard enough with one identity If silence is the voice of a new generation Then I could live up to all of your expectations I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist Then disappear like I don't exist And on the inside (on the inside), I know it won’t last On the inside (on the inside), I’m an outcast Chorus - x3 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#  D  Em  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
