G
I'll never be
A knight in armor
C
with a sword in hand,
or a kamikaze fighter;
G
Don't count on me
To storm the barricades
C
and take a stand,
or hold my ground;
Am
You'll never see
G
Any scars or wounds -
G
I don't walk on coals,
C
I won't walk on water:
G C
I am no prince,
G C
I am no saint,
G C Am D G
I am not anyones wildest dream,
G C G
But i can stand behind
C G D G
And be someone to fall back on.
G
Some comedy -
your bruised and beaten down
C
and i'm the one
who's looking for a favor?
G
Still, honestly,
You don't believe me
C
But the things I have
Are the things you need?
Am
You look at me
G
Like I don't make sense,
G
Like a waste of time,
C
Like it serves no purpose -
G C
I am no prince
G C
I am no saint

you're wrong - you don't need much,

I'm used to that

I've been alone,

The half of us,

The best of me.
And I will be
