ARTIST: Five for Fighting
TITLE: Superman (It's Not Easy)
Lyrics and Chords


I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

/ C - G - / Am - F - / : / C - G F - C G /

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy... or anything

/ Am G C F / Am - D - / C - D - / F - - - G - /

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Yeah, inside of me
Inside of me

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy, ooh hoo
It's not easy to be me

/ C - G - / Am - F - / C - G - / Am - F - .... /
   / C - G - C - G - Am - F - C - - - /
