Verse 1 
D                    G 
I.... I wish I could swim, 
         D                             G 
Like the dolphins.... like dolpins can swim, 
AM7               G                     D        (Electric guitar enters) 
Though nothing.... nothing will keep us together, 
AM7                  G           D 
We can beat them.... forever and ever, 
             AM7       G             D 
Oh we can be heroes.... just for one day,

And you.... you will be Queen, 
       AM7        G                D 
Though nothing.... will drive them away,

We can be heroes.... just for one day,

We can be us.... just for one day, 


Verse 2 
D           G 
I.... I can remember, 
D               G 
Standing.... by walls, 
        D             G 
And the guns.... shot above our heads, 
       D                      G 
And we kissed.... saw nothing before, 
        AM7      G           D 
And the shame.... was on the other side, 


Chorus 2 
          AM7          G            D 
Oh we can beat them.... forever and ever, 
               AM7       G             D 
Then we can be heroes.... just for one day,
