[verse 1]
B                     E
I was in Pittsburgh when
       F#               B
I saw Superman in the backroom
        E              F#                B
He was doing lines or something in the bathroom
  E           F#             B    E  F#
I barely recognized him at all
B                E
I saw him doing things
              F#                 B
you shouldn't do with all that power
   E                        F#                  B
I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower
  E            F#            B    E    F#
I barely recognized him at all

[chorus]
B                   E          F#
 That night I put my youth in a casket
B                E       F#
 And buried it inside of me
B                  E              F#
 That night I saw through all the magic
B                         E         F#
 Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
B                  E              F#
 I burned all the pictures in the attic
B                   E        F#
 And threw away the magazines
B                  E              F#
 That night I saw through all the magic
    B                         E          F#  B  E  F#
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

[verse 2]
B
 I tried to look away
     E               F#          B
but you can't look away from a trainwreck
     E                  F#
The things you said to girls,
                 B
well they were shameless
  E           F#            B    E    F#
I barely recognized him at all
B                   E
 I tried to help but he said
        F#                 B
he was just too far from saving
     E               F#             B
And nothing I could say was gonna change him
   E          F#            B    E  F#
I barely recognized him at all

[chorus]
B                    E          F#
 That night I put my youth in a casket
B                E        F#
 And buried it inside of me
B                 E               F#
 That night I saw through all the magic
B                         E         F#
 Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
B                 E               F#
 I burned all the pictures in the attic
B                   E         F#
 And threw away the magazines
B                  E              F#
 That night I saw through all the magic
    B                         E          F#
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

[bridge]
 B
The death of a hero he couldn't be saved
   E                                F#
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
B                    E  F#
I'll cover his grave
B
The death of a hero I'm turning the page
    E                                F#
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
B                    E   F#
I'll cover his grave

[chorus]
B                     E         F#
