Heroes chords by James Blunt

Verse 1:

         A
You can see it on her face

         F
Her red eyes say she's not safe

                 G
How should she know what it means

       E
She is only just a teen

           A
Under her duvet's where she hides

                F
To block the screaming late at night

             G
She can't remember life before

          E
Mama and Daddy went to war

Chorus:

C
All little girls are full of confusion

E
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 A
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G
Daddy's not coming home

 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

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

  A                              G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

                F      G
Cause all your heroes

              C
Are skin and bones

Verse 2:

                  A
Packed the small bag of things she loves

        F
Deep inside she blames herself

         G
She has nowhere else to go

                 E
But that sounds better than what she knows

             A
And as she steps into the dark

       F
Dirty hair and heavy heart

           G
Cold, cold air inside her lungs

          E
Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Chorus:

C
All little girls are full of confusion

E
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 A
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G
Daddy's not coming home

 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

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

  A                              G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

                F      G
Cause all your heroes

              C
Are skin and bones

Bridge:

    D
And as I heard you shut the door

        F
Went through the window and I saw

     C                                  G
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

        D
Since then not a single day has passed

      F
Where I don't say your name and ask

  C                   G
Where, where did you go?

Intrumental:

C
All little girls are full of confusion

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones
