Verse 1
D                    G
I.... I wish I could swim,
         D                             G
Like the dolphins.... like dolpins can swim,
AM7               G                     D        (Electric guitar enters)
Though nothing.... nothing will keep us together,
AM7                  G           D
We can beat them.... forever and ever,
             AM7       G             D
Oh we can be heroes.... just for one day,

D               G
I.... I will be King,

And you.... you will be Queen,

Though nothing.... will drive them away,

Verse 2
D           G
I.... I can remember,
D               G
Standing.... by walls,
        D             G
And the guns.... shot above our heads,
       D                      G
And we kissed.... saw nothing before,
        AM7      G           D
And the shame.... was on the other side,


Chorus 2
          AM7          G            D
Oh we can beat them.... forever and ever,

Then we can be heroes.... just for one day,
