[Intro]
A
I was just calling to say Hi
A
And I had a really long day
D
And would just love to hear your voice now
D
Shoot me a call back
[Verse 1]
A
Feeling sentimental when I stop and think about it
A
I remember when I had what I wanted
D
You were waiting by the lake like you promised
D
Words are falling from my mouth like a faucet
A
Falling backwards in slow motion to the sound of
A
Your voice on the phone, it gave me good luck
D
Now you're gone but I'll always have a taste
D
I can settle for your voice if I can't have your face
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m D
I was making you a playlist
E
Kings of Leon and Oasis
F#m D
Tell me how can I make this better for you
[Chorus]
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
Someone who can save you when it's tough
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
Someone who could give you all their love
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
When you're scared and when it's rough
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
Would I ever really be enough?
N.F
I wanna be a hero

D E Bm
[Verse 2]
A
It feels detrimental that we stop and talk about it
A
We can find out what we both wanted
D
Doesn't have to be a fight when we talk
D
But please don't walk away from me
A
Tripping over my own words like a boulder
A
Need someone to lean on like a shoulder
D
Instead I have my own thoughts in the rains
D
Wish I could be right back inside your place
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m D
I was making you a playlist
E
Kings of Leon and Oasis
F#m D
Tell me how can I make this better for you

Someone who can save you when it's tough
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
Someone who could give you all their love
D A
I wanna be a hero
E F#m
When you're scared and when it's rough
D A
I wanna be a hero

Would I ever really be enough?

I wanna be a hero
