I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom 
        C              D                G 
He was doing lines or something in the bathroom 
  C           D             G    C  D 
I barely recognized him at all 
G                C                   D                 G 
I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power 
   C                        D                  G 
I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower 
  C            D            G    C    D 
I barely recognized him at all

That night I put my youth in a casket 
G                C       D 
And buried it inside of me 
G                  C              D 
That night I saw through all the magic 
G                         C         D 
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero 
G                  C              D 
I burned all the pictures in the attic 
G                   C        D 
And threw away the magazines 
G                  C              D 
That night I saw through all the magic 
    G                         C          D 
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck 
     C                  D                      G 
The things you said to girls, well they were shameless 
  C           D            G    C    D 
I barely recognized him at all 
G                   C               D                 G 
I tried to help but he said he was just too far from saving 
     C               D             G 
And nothing I could say was gonna change him 
   C          D            G    C  D 
I barely recognized him at all

 G 
The death of a hero he couldn't be saved 
   C                                D 
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave 
G                    C  D 
I'll cover his grave 
G 
The death of a hero I'm turning the page 
    C                                D 
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave 
G                    C   D 
I'll cover his grave
