D
When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world
 A  
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Bm
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
A                Bm C# D Em
Shooting lasers from my eyes

But now I know it never was my destiny
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
And I don't wanna wear this cape

Bm                                   A  
'Cause on the inside (on the inside),
I know it won’t last
D                            Em
On the inside (on the inside), I’m an outcast

Chorus:
D                           F#m
Well, everybody needs a hero,
but I'm not everybody else
         Bm
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone,
 D             D         A
yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
D                             F#m
You know, I tried to be a hero,
but I was lying to myself
         Bm
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone,
 D             D         A
yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown
It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity

If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don't exist

And on the inside (on the inside),
I know it won’t last
On the inside (on the inside), I’m an outcast
