I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom

He was doing lines or something in the bathroom

I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power

I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower

I barely recognized him at all

That night I put my youth in a casket
G C D
And buried it inside of me
[Próxima Parte]
G C D
That night I saw through all the magic
G C D
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic
G C D
And threw away the magazines

That night I saw through all the magic

And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck
C D G
The things you said to girls, well they were shameless

I barely recognized him at all

The death of a hero he couldn't be saved

Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave

C D
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
G C D
I'll cover his grave
[Refrão]
G C D
That night I put my youth in a casket
G C D
And buried it inside of me
