Intro:
A minorAm
So you wanna be the hero, kid?

Be adored by everyone?

Verse 1:
   C majorC
Cause no one can forget you

When you're the reason they have won
       FF
You want the fame, the attention

But more than anything
         G*
You're scared of fading to the background
     G*
Like you didn't mean a thing
   C majorC
It's nice to be liked

And it's nicer to be known
     FF
But just because there are more people

Doesn't mean that you're not alone
A minorAm
So you wanna be the hero?

Baby, don't we all
       G*
But you're forgetting the thing about heroes, kid
   G*
They always have to fall

Chorus:
   A minorAm
So be careful what you wish for
   A minorAm
It'll certainly come true
   C majorC
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
FF
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
     G+G
But what you need to understand
     G*
Is heroes don't get a happily ever after

Refrain:
A minorAm
So you wanna be the hero?

And pretend you're something more

Verse 2:
  C majorC
But face it it's a ruse

You're a scared child at the core
      FF
You're not fighting any battles

Except the ones inside your head
    G+G
You're nothing but a coward
  G+G
No idea of what's ahead
   C majorC
I've been there, I've felt that

So trust me when I say
     FF
It's not all that it's cracked up to be

We're better off this way
A minorAm
So you wanna be the hero?

Run around and play pretend?
       G+G
But you're forgetting the thing about heroes, kid
   G+G
They all end up dead

Chorus:
   A minorAm
So be careful what you wish for
   A minorAm
It'll certainly come true
   C majorC
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
FF
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
     G+G
But what you need to understand
     G+G
Is heroes don't get a happily ever after, after

Woah oh

Verse 3:
C majorC
Too many people have told you "you're brave"
   E minorEm
It's gone to your head
C majorC
So don't mistake this all for strength
E minorEm                G*    G*    G*
You had no options to choose from instead, instead, instead

Chorus:
  A minorAm
Be careful what you wish for
   A minorAm
It'll certainly come true
   C majorC
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
FF
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
     G*
But what you need to understand
     G*
Is heroes don't
  G*
We don't
  G*
You won't

Outro:
    Am*
So you still wanna be the hero?

Refuse to heed my advice
  Am*
Go ahead and play the hero

Soon you'll have to pay the price
