Dear kid, I wrote to say
E
another 7 minutes won't go to waste
A
so, let it take you so deep
F#m
in a world of it's own
E A
where the path shines bright and the stars look over
E
Take life, hold it tight
kiss it 'till it's love struck
pack a ship full of old framed dreams
F#m
and sail over swells of drowning tears
E A Dbm
every rather in your eye is the captain of each tear
E
yours truly, I believed
A E B
Everybody needs a hero, when that last tear drop falls
E A E
on broken pieces lying next to me
B
they watched us break down the walls
E
of what they told us was nothing
we had time to make a memory
A E D
so, they watched us do something that makes me proud of what's become of me
E, D, E, A, E, A,
D, E, A, E

Dear kid, another year has passed by
D A E
every night you sleep with high hopes by your side
D A
and wake up to write down the words that you thought of
D E
when you walk the streets alone in a world so make believe
D
it could be anything, you could be anything
D
yours sincerely, you believed
E A E B
Everybody needs a hero, when that last tear drop falls
E A E
on broken pieces lying next to me
B
they watched us break down the worlds
Dbm A
of what they told us was nothing

we had time to make a memory
E A E D
so, they watched us do something that makes me proud of what's become of me
E
So, promise me, you'll never stop
D
just forget everything, inside your heart
A E
when this turns to war the dreamer inside will save you
so, promise me, without the lies
and just the truth
D
that the lies behind every piece of heart you hide inside your mind
A E
you won't leave the world where the dreamer inside you divides you
Spoken - No guitar, but you can play E and A throughout
Dear kid, let nothing hold you back
and let nothing stop you from achieving your dreams
nothing is ever as bad as it seems
it may not be easy, but the battle will only make the outcome more satisfying
your journey will be a tough one
but the sights along the way will shine brighter than any star that shines in the night sky
I'll be looking back smiling for as long as you're looking ahead
yours sincerely, I believed
I believed
I believed
I believed
I believed
I believed
I believed

you'll write this song again one day
you'll walk those steps

into the place where the lights shine bright

and the world looks over... WOAH, WOAH, WOAH
E D A
Everybody needs a hero, when that last tear drop falls
