verse 1 

    C 
Excuse my lack of patience 
    F 
But today I'm feeling faceless 
  Am         G             F            G       C    
I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on 
   C 
My mind says I'm a waste 
   F 
My life ain't keeping pace 
  Am         G             F            G       C    
I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on

          Am                G 
I need a miracle, I need a sign 
          F             Am 
I need a hero to lift away 
                               G   
I need a miracle, But not for looong 

C           F            C                  G 
I am on my own, my own hero, I will stay stro-o-ong 
C           F            C                    G 
  I'm on my own, no undertoe, Could bring me dooown

I feel like Supermaaan, I feel like Supermaaan

My laugh is understated

Cause I don't think I can fake it 
  Am         G             F            G       C    
I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on 
    C 
Been locked inside this cage 
    F 
And I don't think I can break it 
  Am         G             F            G       C    
I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on
