Verse 1:
Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7     Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7
I remember photographs,   Watercolors of the past

Fmaj7Fmaj7     A minorAm     G+G   G/F  G/EG/E  G/DG/D
He turned and said, "You ask much of me"

Fmaj7Fmaj7    Cmaj7Cmaj7     Fmaj7Fmaj7   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Then when we made our peace, We lay between the sheets

Fmaj7Fmaj7     A minorAm     G+G  G/F  G/EG/E  G/DG/D
He turned and said  "I set you free"

Fmaj7Fmaj7         Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7         Cmaj7Cmaj7
Go on, be a hero Be a photograph Make your own myths Christ, I hope they last

Chorus 1:
DmDm        Dm/C          G+G G/F G/EG/E G/DG/D
Longer than mine Wider than the sky We measure time by

Fmaj7Fmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7        Fmaj7Fmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
Go on,be a hero I set you free Your stagehand lovers Have conquered me

    DmDm        Dm/C   G+G G/F G/EG/E G/DG/D
They'll send you carnations While smiling faces look on and applaud Go on, go on,

Fmaj7Fmaj7            Cmaj7Cmaj7
go away from me ................................

Verse 2:
Fmaj7Fmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7      Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7
I said, "Do you wish me dead?" Lip service to books you've read

Fmaj7Fmaj7     Am7Am7     G+G   G/F   G/EG/E   G/DG/D
Articles on  how to bed a bird in flight

Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7      Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7
You called it love      I called it  greed

Fmaj7Fmaj7           Am7Am7       G+G G/F G/EG/E G/DG/D
You said you take what you want I said, "You get what you need"

Fmaj7Fmaj7         Cmaj7Cmaj7       Fmaj7Fmaj7  Cmaj7Cmaj7
Go on, be a hero, be a man        Make your own destiny if you can

Chorus 2:
Dm7Dm7       Dm7/C        G+G G/F G/EG/E G/DG/D
Go find a fence Locate a shell And hide yourself, go on, go to hell

Fmaj7Fmaj7           Cmaj7Cmaj7
Go away from me I need no charity

Come unto me Hold the darkness and stay the night

I am wonder I am the heart's delight Tomorrow we'll fight

Verse 3:

Fmaj7Fmaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7      Fmaj7Fmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
We'll talk it over again some time I'll send some flowers to change your mind
