I don’t think that you were invited. Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am Here you go again, pretending like you love me. Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am When just beneath the surface, you’re convinced that you’re above me. Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am (Dig deep, into the past, I’ve never been one for doing things half-assed Dm G7 If I’m here to save you, I’ll be here forever. Cmaj7 Am Just take my hand, I'll be your knight in shining armor!)
Verse 1: Dm G7 You think you’re a hero! Cmaj7 Am And they’ll tell you you are Dm G7 So stoic and handsome! Cmaj7 Am And you’ve come so far! Verse 2: Dm G7 (You think you’re a villain Cmaj7 Am But I know you’re not! Dm G7 Under all that angst and anger Cmaj7 Am Is a beating human heart) Is a dying broken heart Verse 3: Dm G7 Hey, what about the lonely little girls/(I’m sorry!) Cmaj7 Am What about her monsters who prevailed?/(I’m sorry!) Dm G7 You never came to save my world Cmaj7 Am What about me? (What about us?) Verse 4: Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am (I recognize that you’re upset I know they did you wrong) Oh you know nothing of me Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am (But trust me please believe me this won’t stop the hurt for long Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am We don’t need to end like this, look me in the eyes) Here comes the hero complex Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am (You call yourself a villain but we know it’s a disguise) I know I’m the villain, but you’re the one who lies Verse 5: Dm G7 So! You’re back at it again? Cmaj7 Am Twisting and manipulating every word I’ve said? Dm G7 (C’mon you know that’s not true Cmaj7 Am I’m just trying to help you, let me help you!) Outro: Dm G7 You are not my hero Cmaj7 Am You don't know how it felt Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am What else could you do with the cards that I've been dealt? Dm G7 (You are not the villain, Cmaj7 Am You once held my hand) Dm G7 Cmaj7 Am Stand up. Get out. Sometimes things don’t go as planned.
