Hero In Our House

Tom : C
F
I really miss her
C
That's her on the porch
G
Right there, holding my sister
C
Used to wake me up for school
F
Helped put on my clothes
C
Lunch in the fridge
G C
Wrapped in foil to stay cold
F
And then she walked me out
C
The hero in my house

[Chorus]
F
Now my heart
Am
It's locked in a cage
C
Thrown into the river
G
I can't help this rage
F
N.C.
Sometimes I wonder
Am
What she's doing up there now
F
Do they see her like we do?

G C
The hero in our house

[Verse 2]
C
Yeah we're all a little numb
F
That's not the intention
C
The things that we saw
G
Just hurt too much to mention
C
I hurt for the pain
F
Hurt and I'm grieving
C
Oddest thing is
G C
There's just no getting even
F
Her body took her out
C
The hero in our house

[Chorus]
F
Now this heart
Am
It's locked in a cage

[Próxima Parte]
G C
The hero in our house

[Interlude]
Am   F   C   F   C

[Verse 3]
C
Some things you can't forget
F
Some folks you don't either
C
Can try to outrun pain
G
You stop and feel the fever
C
I need to get drunk
F
Feeling so crazy
C
I need to get work done
G C
But then I just get lazy
F
If she could see me now
C
The hero in our house
F
It really gets me down
C
It really bums me out

[Chorus]
F
Now this heart
Am
It's locked in a cage
C
Thrown into the river
G
I can't help this rage
F
N.C.
But sometimes I wonder

[Outro]
C
There was a hero in our house
F
Sent down from heaven
C
Then she went back
G
'Fore the age of sixty-seven
C
But she told us all goodbye
F
Told us she was proud
C F
And that's how she went out
G C
The hero in our house
