Intro: D  G  D  G

D             G
I, I will be king
     D                G
And you, you will be queen
        C                        D
Though nothing will drive them away
        Am      Em              D
We can beat them  just for one day
           C    G              D
We can be Heroes just for one day

    D                G
And you, you can be mean
    D              G
And I, I’ll drink all the time

              D                    G
‘Cause we’re lovers and that is a fact
           D                     G
Yes we’re lovers and that is that
        C                      D
Though nothing will keep us together
                Am Em              D
We could steal time  just for one day
           C    G               D   D
We can be Heroes for ever and ever
D                 G    D    G
What d’you say?

D                     G
I, I wish you could swim
      D                            G
Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim
        C                                  D
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
        Am     Em               D
We can beat them for ever and ever
              C    G              D
Oh we can be Heroes just for one day

D  D  G  D  G

D             G
I, I will be king
     D                 G
And you, you will be queen
        C                        D
Though nothing will drive them away
           Am   Em              D
We can be Heroes  just for one day
        C   G              D    D
We can be us just for one day

D           G
I, I can remember (I remember)
  D               G
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
     D           G
The guns, shot above our heads
(over our heads)
        D                              G
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
          C              D
And the shame was on the other side
           Am      Em             D
Oh we can beat them  for ever and ever
                C    G              D
Then we can be Heroes just for one day

D               G
     We can be Heroes
D               G
     We can be Heroes

D               G                    D
     We can be Heroes, just for one day
                G
     We can be Heroes

       C                        D
We’re nothing and nothing will help us
             Am  Em                      D
Maybe we’re lying  then you better not stay
                 C                  D
But we could be safer just for one day
