[Verse 1]
[G]I was in Pittsburgh w[Em]hen I saw a S[D]uperman
in the [G]backroom
He was [Em]doing lines or [D]something
in the [G]bathroom
I [C]barely recog[D]nize him at [G]all[Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]I saw him doing
[Em]things you shouldn't [D]do with all that [G]power
I [Em]wish someone would [D]have
thrown him in the [G]shower
I [C]barely recog[D]nize him at [G]all[C][G]

[Chorus 1]
[G]That night I put my you[Em]th in a cas[C]ket
[G]And buried it insid[Em]e of me[C]
[G]That night I saw thr[Em]ough all the mag[C]ic
[G]Now I'm a witness to the [Em]death of a [C]hero
[G]I burned all the pic[Em]tures in the att[C]ic
[G]And threw away the mag[Em]azines[C]
[G]That night I saw thr[Em]ough all the mag[C]ic
And [G]now I'm a witness to the
[Em]death of a [C]hero[G][Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]I tried to look away
but [Em]you can't look a[D]way from a t[G]rainwreck
The [Em]things you said to [D]girls,
well they were [G]shameless
I [C]barely recog[D]nize him at [G]all[Em][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]I tried to help but h[Em]e said
he was [D]just too far from [G]saving
And [Em]nothing I could [D]say
was gonna [G]change him
I [C]barely recog[D]nize him at [G]all
[C][D]

[Chorus 2]
[G]That night I put my you[Em]th in a cas[C]ket
[G]And buried it insid[Em]e of me[C]
[G]That night I saw thr[Em]ough all the mag[C]ic
[G]Now I'm a witness to the [Em]death of a [C]hero
[G]I burned all the pic[Em]tures in the att[C]ic

[Bridge 1]
The [G]death of a hero, he couldn't be saved
Now I'm [Em]cutting the grass
and I'll [D]cover his grave
[G]I'll cover his gra[Em]ve[D]
The [G]death of a hero, I'm turning the page
Now I'm [C]cutting the grass
and I'll [D]cover his grave
[G]I'll cover his gra[Em]ve[D]
