Verse 
C 
When I walk down the street, 
F 
See the people who stop and stare and say 
                                          G 
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago 
C 
When I walk down the street, 
F 
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi," 

With a, "How you going, Buddy," 
                                    G 
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello 

Pre-Chorus 
F    F# 
They say: 
G                             F F# 
Haven't I seen your face before 
G                                              F F# 
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door, 
G                                   F F# 
Weren't you on television ev'ry night 
G                       G7 
Haven't I seen you round 

C                                  G 
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero, 
            F                     C 
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be. 
                                   G 
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero, 
                F                 C         G 
And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be 
F                    G 
If I don't get together, 
C          G            F            G 
Make a new start and be somebody better, 
F             G       F               G  C 
All that I'll be if I don't get together now. 

Verse 
C 
When you walk down the street, 
F 
If you know me, then pass me by, 

If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why, 
        G 
I don't read the news~ 
C 
When you walk down the street, 
F 
If you're sorry then don't feel bad, 

If you followed my story, then just be glad, 
          G 
You ain't in my shoes 

Pre-Chorus 
F F# 
Because, 
G                              F F# 
Haven't you seen my face before, 
G                                            F F# 
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door, 
G                                   F F# 
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night, 
G                        G7 
Haven't you seen me round. 
 
C                                  G 
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero, 
            F                     C 
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be. 
                                   G 
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero, 
                F                 C         G 
And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be 
F                    G 
If I don't get together, 
C          G            F            G 
Make a new start and be somebody better, 
F                                     G  C 
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
