Verse:
C G
I can’t stand to fly
C F
I’m not that naive
C G
I’m just out to find
C F
The better part of me
C G
I’m more than a bird…I’m more than a plane
F
More than some pretty face beside a train
C G C
It’s not easy to be me
C G
Wish that I could cry
C F
Fall upon my knees
C G
Find a way to lie
C F
About a home I’ll never see
C G
It may sound absurd…but don’t be nieve
F
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
C G
I may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
F
Even Heroes have the right to dream

It’s not easy to be me

I’m not crazy…or anything…
C G
I can’t stand to fly
C F
I’m not that naive
C G
Men weren’t meant to ride
C F
With clouds between their knees
C G
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
F
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
C G C G
Only a man in a funny red sheet
F
Looking for special things inside of me
C G C
It’s not easy to be me
Have fun 🙂
