Tom: G
G
Her and her friends piled into a Camry
Am
Headed downtown, got in for free
C
She's all dolled up, looking VIP
G
Walked in, found a booth, took a seat
G
Wiped the tear from the corner of her eye
Am
Faked a smile to the Corona guy
C
Usually she wouldn't give him the time of day
G
But hey, in here tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
G
She don't wanna feel nothing real
Am C
She just want somebody to give her attention
G
For a minute, call her beautiful
G
She ain't trying to wind up in love
Am C
She's just trying to burn some time up
G
On a Friday night in the neon light
Yeah, he hurt her soul
[Chorus]
G
She just needs a hero to save her
Am
From being all alone
C
From paying for a drink she don't want
G
Nothing more than a dance or two
She's feeling blue
G Am
But she just needs a hero, mmm
C G
And she just needs a hero
[Verse 2]
G
He's all geared up for his football game
Am
He's wearing his jersey with the same last name
C G
A still reminder of the guy that ain't around these days
G
And his mama's up in them aluminum stands
Am
Saying 'run, baby run', she's his number one fan
C
Doing the best she can
G
But wondering why his daddy can't be a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
G
He just wants to feel what kids feel
Am
Walking off the football field
C
After winning, for a minute
G
In his daddy's pads
G
The kid should never have to wonder
Am
If his old man even loves him
C
On a Friday night under Friday lights
G
Shouldn't be so sad
[Chorus]
G
That should be his hero
Am
That left him and his mama all alone
C
Barely even calls him on the phone
G
Every year in March, sends a birthday card
G Am
But he just needs a hero, mmm
C G
Yeah, he just needs a hero
[Verse 3]
G
There's an old white haired preacher man
Am
With a leather bind good book on the stand
C
Says 'if you're ready for a change, here's your chance
G
With every head bow, slip up your hand'
[Bridge]
G
If you wanna feel something real
Am
That this mean old world can't kill
C
Not even Satan
G
There's a saviour, he'll wash away your sins
G
All you gotta do is reap in
Am C
Open up your heart, accept him and
G
He'll save your soul
[Chorus]
G Am
Jesus is a hero, ooo
C G
And everybody needs a hero
G Am
Jesus is a hero, ooo
C G
And everybody needs a hero
