D                   G                               D              G 
The world's full of questions you thought I had the answers for 
D                     Bm         G            A 
I see you look at the world with eyes I had before 
D       F#m   G                G 
You see in me something I never found 
D                       Bm 
'Till I found you by my side 
G                   A       D 
Now I never want to let you down 
 
               Bm 
But sometimes a hero 
G             A        D 
Seems awfully far from home 
           Bm 
But even a hero 
      G               D                 A 
Can't always stop the cold wind when it blows 
Bm 
But If you hold tight, the long night 
     G            D 
Will soon be tomorrow 
    Em                      A 
And you'll find me when you need 
                  D-F#m-G-A (intro) 
Sometimes a hero 
 
(verse 2, same chords) 
Without the wind, there would be no sails 
And If not for you 
There would be no hero in me 
There are times I have shined 
And there are times that I fail 
Sometimes a hero he'll ride off 
But he'll be back again another day 
 
 
Chorus repeats twice
