Heroes chords by James Blunt

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

     A augmentedA
You can see it on her face

     FF
Her red eyes say she's not safe

         G+G
How should she know what it means

    E MajorE
She is only just a teen

      A augmentedA
Under her duvet's where she hides

        FF
To block the screaming late at night

       G+G
She can't remember life before

     E MajorE
Mama and Daddy went to war

Chorus:

C majorC
All little girls are full of confusion

E MajorE
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 A augmentedA
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G+G
Daddy's not coming home

 C majorC
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

 E MajorE
Promise that won't be you when you're 50

 A augmentedA               G+G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

        FF   G+G
Cause all your heroes

       C majorC
Are skin and bones

Verse 2:

         A augmentedA
Packed the small bag of things she loves

    FF
Deep inside she blames herself

     G+G
She has nowhere else to go

         E MajorE
But that sounds better than what she knows

       A augmentedA
And as she steps into the dark

    FF
Dirty hair and heavy heart

      G+G
Cold, cold air inside her lungs

     E MajorE
Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Chorus:

C majorC
All little girls are full of confusion

E MajorE
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 A augmentedA
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G+G
Daddy's not coming home

 C majorC
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

 E MajorE
Promise that won't be you when you're 50

 A augmentedA               G+G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

        FF   G+G
Cause all your heroes

       C majorC
Are skin and bones

Bridge:

  D MajorD
And as I heard you shut the door

    FF
Went through the window and I saw

   C majorC                 G+G
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

    D MajorD
Since then not a single day has passed

   FF
Where I don't say your name and ask

 C majorC          G+G
Where, where did you go?

Intrumental:
A augmentedA G+G
