F                                       G
Gazing down from Skidar, I can see the future
F                                 G
Music, art and science are gonna bust
F                                 G
Oh, the plan to meet her in this labyrinth
F                             G
This ancient archive full of dust

Chorus:
G      C F          C G
I'm a hero, ground zero
C     F                            C G
If I don't take off, I'll surely drown
G      C F          C G
I'm a hero, ground zero
C      F                            C G
In the end every leader becomes a clown

Every rock star wants to make a movie
But the darkness is safer than the light
I won't go back to walkdown music
From this old hilltop, I'll take flight

Chorus:
I am a hero, ground zero
In my face, a Klieg lamp burns my eyes
I'm a hero, ground zero
On my back is the heat of a new sunrise

A#        F  A#   F     A# F
You look so good like spring
          A#    F   A#    F     C
I didn't know that looks could kill
A#         F    A#    F   A#   F
And a pay rock could hear you sing
A#   F    A#       F         C
How many rooms can one note fill?

You raised me up and then you dropped me
I drank and sank, absurd and stoned
I was adopted by the angels
They said my future was postponed

Chorus:
I was a hero, ground zero
I believe my stock has been atoned
I was a hero, ground zero
I felt the shock of being dethroned

Of being disowned
