F/C F/G G6
[Verse 1]
F/C F/G G6 F/C
There's nothing funny about just slipping away
F/G G6 F/C
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days
F/G G6 Am D
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival
F/C F/G G6 F/C
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
F/G G6 F/C
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
F/G G6 Am
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
D F/C
For something you can't remember what was about
[Chorus]
Am Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the
Am/F# F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Am Am/G Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored
F/C
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 2]
F/C F/G G6 F/C
I used to watch you on the late night scene
F/G G6 F/C
The timely rescue of a metal teen
F/G G6 Am
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
D
And that hadn't occurred to me
F/C F/G G6 F/C
When I met you I was 22
F/G G6 F/C
Trying so hard to play it cool
F/G G6 Am
But there was so much that I needed to say
D F/C
And nothing came out the right way
[Chorus]
Am Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the
Am/F# F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Am Am/G Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored
F/C
With no one to save anymore
Am Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the
Am/F# F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Am Am/G Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored
F/C
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 3]
F/C F/G G6 F/C
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
F/G G6 F/C
It's nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
F/G G6 Am
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
D
That kid that you used to be?
F/C F/G G6 F/C
Broke and working in a record store
F/G G6 F/C
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
F/G G6 Am
Were you happier when you were poor?
D F/C
Were you happier when you were poor?
[Chorus]
Am Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the
Am/F# F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Am Am/G Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored
F/C
With no one to save anymore
Am Am/G
The curtain falls to applause and the
Am/F# F/C
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Am Am/G Am/F#
He's a superhero growing bored
F/C
With no one to save anymore
