B
When I walk down the street,
E
See the people who stop and stare and say
F#
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
B
When I walk down the street,
E
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"
With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
F#
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello
Pre-chorus:
They say:
F# B
Haven't I seen your face before
F# B
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
F# B
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
F#
Haven't I seen you round
Chorus:
B F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
E B
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be.
B F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
E B F#
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
E F#
If I don't get together,
B F# E F#
Make a new start and be somebody better,
E B
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
Verse:
B
When you walk down the street, now,
E
If you know me, then pass me by,
F#
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news~
B
When you walk down the street,
E
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,
If you followed my story, then just be glad,
F#
You ain't in my shoes
Pre-chorus:
Because,
F# B
Haven't you seen my face before,
F# B
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
F# B
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
F#
Haven't you seen me round.
Chorus:
B F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
E B
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be.
B F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
E B F#
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
E F#
If I don't get together,
B F# E F#
Make a new start and be somebody better,
E B
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
