D D7 G Gm/Bb
D A7 D D
[Verse 1]
D
It\'s a hard life
D7
getting by on
G D
melodies and rhymes,
D
like all my heroes
D
wrote in
A A
their songs.
D
Just hoping some
D7
day they might
G Gm/Bb
ask me to play:
D
what do you do
when your
A7 D D
heroes are gone?
[Chorus]
D
Lord, I try to
live
C G
up to the songs
D
they left behind,
D
but I don\'t
always
D
know how to
A A
carry on.
D
It\'s so hard to
find
C
your way when a
G Gm/Bb
flame fades away.
D
What do you do
when your
A D D
heroes are gone?

D D7 G Gm/Bb
D A7 D D
[Verse 2]
D
So, pour me one
more for
D7
the courts and
G
another for the
D
burbs
D
while the jukebox
just
D
keeps rolling
A A
along.
D
And when the last
D7
one ends
we\'ll play them
G Gm/Bb
all over again
D
\'cause what do you
do when your
A7 D D
heroes are gone.
[Chorus]
D
Lord, I try
to live
C
up to the
G
songs they left
D
behind,
D
but I don\'t always
D
know how
A A
to carry on.
D
It\'s so hard to
find your
C
way when another
G Gm/Bb
flame fades away.
D
What do you do
when your
A D D
heroes are gone?
[Ending]
D
Yeah, it\'s so hard
to find

your way when a

flame fades away.

when your
