Here I stand I'm just a shell of a man
           E                          F#
And only a kiss ago I was yesterday's hero
     G#m                    C# 
When you were mine I had it made
          G#m                 C#
I was the leader of the big parade
    D#m        G#m            C#sus4 C#  F# 
Now look at me I'm yesterday's he    ro, hero

How their cheers used to sing in my ears
With you walking by my side I was a conquering hero
But no one even says hello
They say that idols come and idols go
Well I oughta know I'm yesterday's hero, hero

Now the glamour and the glory's gone
But will the story of our love be live on
Or fade away like yesterday's hero
 
     G#m
Like yesterday's hero 
                 B  
Yeah yesterday's hero  (repeat and fade)
