Ab Eb Bb
[Verse 1]
Ab Eb Bb Ab
There's nothing funny about just slipping away
Eb Bb Ab
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days
Eb Bb Cm F
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival
Ab Eb Bb Ab
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
Eb Bb Ab
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
Eb Bb Cm
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
F Ab
For something you can't remember what was about
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm Bb F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
Ab
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 2]
Ab Eb Bb Ab
I used to watch you on the late night scene
Eb Bb Ab
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Eb Bb Cm
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
F
And that hadn't occurred to me
Ab Eb Bb Ab
When I met you I was 22
Eb Bb Ab
Trying so hard to play it cool
Eb Bb Cm
But there was so much that I needed to say
F Ab
And nothing came out the right way
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm Bb F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
Ab
With no one to save anymore
Cm Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm Bb F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
Ab
With no one to save anymore
[Verse 3]
Ab Eb Bb Ab
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
Eb Bb Ab
It's nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
Eb Bb Cm
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
F
That kid that you used to be?
Ab Eb Bb Ab
Broke and working in a record store
Eb Bb Ab
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
Eb Bb Cm
Were you happier when you were poor?
F Ab
Were you happier when you were poor?
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm Bb F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
Ab
With no one to save anymore
Cm Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm Bb F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
Ab
With no one to save anymore
