Lyrics and Chords


[The indented lyrics are on the full version of the song but not on the single version.]

   I, I will be king
   And you, you will be queen
   Though nothing will drive them away
   We can beat them, just for one day
   We can be heroes, just for one day

   / D - G - / : / C - D - / Am7 Em D - / C G D - / (/ D - G - / /)

   And you, you can be mean
   And I, I'll drink all the time
   'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
   Yes, we're lovers, and that is that
   Though nothing will keep us together
   We could steal time, just for one day
   We can be heroes, for ever and ever, what d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day

/ D - G - / : / C - D - / Am7 Em D - / C G D - / (/ D - G - / /)

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember, I remember
Standing by the wall, by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads, over our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall, nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes

/ D - G - / :

   We're nothing, and nothing will help us
   Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
   But we could be safer, just for one day
   Oh, oh, oh

   / C - D - / Am7 Em D - / C G D - / D - G - / ...
