B                       G#m 
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)
