I, I will be king
    D                              G
And you, you will be queen

              C                                      D
Though nothing will drive them away
              Am7       Em                      D
We can beat them    just for one day
                   C             G                 D
We can be Heroes   just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time    just for one day
We can be Heroes   for ever and ever. What d’you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them    for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes   just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes    just for one day
We can be us    just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
The guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them    for ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes   just for one day

But we could be safer   just for one day
