Heroes - James Blunt
[Verse 1]
         Am
You can see it on her face
         F
Her red eyes say she's not safe
                 G
How should she know what it means
       Em
She is only just a teen
           Am
Under her duvet's where she hides
                F
To block the screaming late at night
             G
She can't remember life before
          Em
Mama and Daddy went to war
[Chorus]
C
All little girls are full of confusion
Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human
 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?
 G
Daddy's not coming home
 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
  Am                            G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings
                F     G
Cause all your heroes
              C
Are skin and bones
[Verse 2]
                  Am
Packed the small bag of things she loves
        F
Deep inside she blames herself
         G
She has nowhere else to go
                 Em
But that sounds better than what she knows
             Am
And as she steps into the dark
       F
Dirty hair and heavy heart
           G
Cold, cold air inside her lungs
          Em
Catch a snowflake on her tongue
[Chorus]
C
All little girls are full of confusion
Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human
 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?
 G
Daddy's not coming home
 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
  Am                             G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings
                F     G
Cause all your heroes
              C
Are skin and bones
[Bridge]
    Dm
And as I heard you shut the door
        F
Went through the window and I saw
     C                                 G
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow
        Dm
Since then not a single day has passed
      F
Where I don't say your name and ask
  C                  G
Where, where did you go?
[Intrumental]
Am G
C G Am Em
[Outro]
C
All little girls are full of confusion
Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human
 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?
 G
Daddy's not coming home
 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
  Am                             G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings
                F     G
Cause all your heroes
              C
Are skin and bones
