We Can't All Be Heroes (Instrumental) chords and lyrics - WAX

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
[Am]I wake[Dm] up in the morning,
its the same old thing
Another day alone just rhyme
[Am]writing (oh)
It's getting a little old

[Verse 2]
Feeling kind of cold
[Dm]When do you say you took your
dream too far
And finally come to grips with
the person you are
I think for [Am]some of us the
dream's too vivid
And the gift we've been given is
the curse that comes with it
If you [Dm]strive for perfection and progress
You beat your own ass in the process
Man I'm [Am]satisfied never
My shit always could be better
Shit the I'm saying now
could be way more clever
I re[Dm]member when
there wasn't no pressure
I just do this
Before the music was part of a to do list
[Am]I love writing but why
I'm clueless
It's peaceful yet deceitful
Like a Buddhist Ju[Dm]das
And its's fucking up my brain
But somehow it's the only
thing that keeps me sane
[Am]I guess I'm like a little
goth art student
Take away his pen,
next day at school he starts shooting
[Dm]But arts stupid
If you consider the bitter cost of this
All the relationships I've lost to this
All the times [Am]that I hit ignore when my family
and friends they would call for this
A constant state of exhaustiveness
I give my all to this
[Dm]A stressful endeavor like tiger woods
probably thinks that golfing is
I should get a office gig
But I [Am]can't cause I'm over
here dreaming
And as I write another song
I just feel like screaming

[Verse 3]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I just want to live [Am]comfortably
And I ain't talking about wealth
I'm talking about my brain
I'm talking about mental health

[Verse 4]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I look around and sud[Am]denly
I realize that there's nobody else
The only one judging me is myself

[Verse 5]
Most [Dm]people they got
big dreams and big plans
End up as a big flock of sacrificial lambs
[Am]A single achiever
Can make a billion believers
Look at the children they're
all willing and eager
Like when [Dm]I was a kid
I watched Jordan play
And dreamed of being up on
the NBA court one day
[Am]Realized early that I didn't have it
That don't mean that there ain't
people that took that stab at it
Like my [Dm]man every day practice
shooting baskets
Dreaming about playing for
the magic or mavericks
[Am]High school star a 30 point
a night average
4 year college starter alright average
[Dm]Didn't get drafted
Still he could see the dream
Now he's 35 playing
for some European team
[Am]Knees fucked up constantly throbbing
Now he's popping Oxycontin
And it's becoming a problem
Had to [Dm]move back with his mom
And she want him to get a job
But he doesn't have any
qualities they need
Can't put 3- man [Am]weave drills
Under specialty skills
More and more he eats pills
Prescription refills
He still [Dm]sees that dream that
vision and it haunts him
A voice inside his head and it taunts him
[Am]His mom thinking that he's
on something
And she right
As he screams in the middle of the night

[Verse 6]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I just want to live [Am]comfortably
And I ain't talking about wealth
I'm talking about my brain
I'm talking about mental health

[Verse 7]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I look around and sud[Am]denly
I realize that there's nobody else

[Verse 8]
The only one judging me is myself
[Am]I wake up in [F]the morning it's the [Dm]same
[Am]old [C]thin[Am]g...[C]
I wake up in the [Am]morning it's the same old
[C]thing...[Am][C][F][Dm]
[E][Dm]
[Am]Shit, it's hard enough not to crack under
the pressure of average [Dm]expectations
Most of my heroes were drug [Am]addicts
So dream high and be prepared

[Verse 9]
to fall really fucking far
[Dm]Take a walk around the city
Tour L.A.
Listen to what addicted women
on the corner say
[Am]Study their words many of
them weren't born this way
Many moved here back in the day
Thinking that [Dm]they'd be the
next Dorris Day
There was role she was born
to play
But somewhere she went astray
[Am]Some people crack on the day
that disappointment comes
When they realize they ain't one
of the annointed ones
[Dm]She saw the vision
And she came here on a mission
Audition after audition
But she never caught a glimpse
Of success [Am]and then she got older
And the industry disowned
Told herself that it was over
Now she never ever sober
And it [Dm]drove her to the point
She can't control her own
emotions or addictions
But she still sees the vision
when she's [Am]dreaming
A voice in her head like a demon
And she on sunset at the
bus stop screaming

[Verse 10]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I just want to live [Am]comfortably
And I ain't talking about wealth
I'm talking about my brain
I'm talking about mental health

[Verse 11]
Stop [Dm]fucking with me
Stop judging me
I look around and sud[Am]denly
I realize that there's nobody else
The only one judging me is myself

[Verse 12]
But, stop [Dm]fucking with me

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Am]
