C
I have saved the world in the movies
Am           G                        F
So naturally there's folks who think I must know what to know
C
But just because you've seen me on your TV
Am            G                            F
Doesn't mean I'm any more enlightened than you


                    G       Am
And while there's a part of me
         F
In that guy you've seen
         C
Up there on that screen
     G
I am so much more
     C       G                   F
And I wish I knew the things you think I do
        C           G/B       Am
I would change this world for sure
      Dm       C                              G
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
F
Sorry to disappoint you
            C
But I'm real


C
I'd love to help the world and all its problems
Am                G        F
But I'm an entertainer, and that's all
C
So the next time there's an asteroid or a natural disaster
Am              G
I'm flattered that you thought of me
Fsus2
But I'm not the one to call


                    Am     G
And while there's a part of me
F
In that guy you've seen
C
Up there on that screen
G
I am so much more
      Am     G                   F
And I wish I knew the things you think I do
        C           G/B       Am
I would change this world for sure
      Dm      C                               G
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
F
Sorry to disappoint you

But I'm real
