[Verse 1]
I've been reaAding books of Gold, the leAgends and the Bmmyths
AchilAles and his Ggold, HercuAles and his Bmgifts
SpiAderman's conGtrol and BatAman with his Bmfists
AAnd clearly GI don't see myself Aupon that Bmlist
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But she said, where'Ad you wanna Ggo, how much Ayou wanna Bmrisk?
I'm not looAking for someGbody with some suAperhuman Bmgifts
Some suAperheroG, some faiArytale Bmbliss
Just someAthing I can Gturn to, someboAdy I can Bmkiss
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
I've been reaAding books of Gold, the leAgends and the Bmmyths
The tesAtaments they Gtold, the moon Aand its eBmclipse
And SuAperman unGrolls, a suit Abefore he Bmlifts
ABut I'm Gnot the kind of perAson that it Bmfits

She said, where'Ad you wanna Ggo, how much Ayou wanna Bmrisk?
