[Verse]

Am                          G
  Just because they seem to understand the way you feel, it
F                                G
  Just doesn't mean that they'll feel the same way too (woh, woh, woh)
Am                          G
  Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life, it (woh, woh, woh)
F                          G
  Just doesn't follow that they'll be just like you

[Chorus]

Dm                        Am
  Take no heroes, it's no good, they don't stand up to you
     Dm                F          G        Am  G  Am
Just take the bits you think that you can use

[Bridge]

Am              Dm
I remember when I was younger
        G                  F
I thought the answers were locked in people
   Am            Dm
So I admired the ones whose lives were
  G                 F
A source of envy to people like me

[Chorus]

Dm                          Am
  But do you really want to meet
                        Dm
The ones who write your dreams?
                                Am
Believe me, it's a fantasy, you won't like the reality
Dm                              Am
  If you want heroes, keep them safe
                       Dm
They don't stand up to life so
                  F        G        Am  C  D  E  G  B  C  D
Lock them in your soul and lose the key

[Hook]

 Am C         D             E
(I  love you, I don't wanna meet you)
 Am C         D             E
(I  love you, I don't wanna meet you)
 Am C         D             E
(I  love you, I don't wanna meet you)
 Am C         D             E
(I  love you, I don't wanna meet you)
Am
  When I see you it makes me feel (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
Dm
  There's someone else out there like me (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
F
  You touch my soul with what you do (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
E
  It all makes sense when I hear you (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
Am
  You understand the way I feel (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
Dm
  I know exactly what you mean (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
F
  It's like I've known you all my life (I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
E                         Dm
  I think of you I feel alright

[Chorus]

                              Am
But in the flesh how would it be
                            Dm
If you could really see the weaknesses you never knew
 Am
Alive and staring back at you
Dm                             Am
  If you want heroes keep them safe
                        Dm
They don't stand up to life so
                  F        G        Am  C  D
Lock them in your soul and lose the key
Dm                  F        G        Am  C  D
  Lock them in your soul and lose the key
Dm                  F        G        Am  C  D  D#  N.C.
  Lock them in your soul and lose the key
