[Verse 1]

Bm A G D
Daddy can you hear me? Can you see me? Can you free me?
Bm
I’m shackled to your memory
A G D
Am I everything that you thought I’d be?
D Dm A G D
The day you laid your armor down and took your last breath just keeps replaying now
D A
I’m doing my best to be strong for everyone around
G D
But tonight I’m breaking down
D A G D
Thinking ‘bout the lessons you taught, you got your point across with the ways you talked
D A G D
I watched you move mountains to me, but then I watched you struggle to walk
Dm Bm
And every day burns like the last one
A G D
Hope you forgive me for the times I was a bad son
D Dm Bm A D D
But Lord, you took my hero from me when you know I only had one ((one)

[Pre-Chorus]

D Dm A
That was my heart you broke
G D
That was my friend you stole
D Bm
That was the man…..
A G
That made me who I am……
D Bm A
Now you see this mask I wear
G
Out in the sun’s despair
D Bm
Goodbye plans
A G
And I guess I’ll never understand……

[Chorus]

D Bm
Still my hero…..
D G
Still my hero…..
D Bm
Still my hero…..
D G
Still my hero…..

[Verse 2]

D Bm
Some days I sit and reminisce and I think of the past
A G
How do we lose something we love and it just happens in a flash?
D Bm
It’s just the cycle of life, I swear it happened so fast
A G
You watched me take my first breath, I watched you take your last
D Dm
Last night I couldn’t sleep so I got up and took me a ride
Bm A G
I took a drive through Antioch, I smoked a joint, and I cried
D Bm
I watched you stare death in the face without a fear in your eyes
A G
You taught me how I should live, you taught me how I should die
D Bm
Wish I could have the strength you had as you laid there on that bed
A G
Staring at death, I remember every word that you said
D Bm
Without a hint of bitterness, you sat there shaking your head
A G
Laughing and telling stories about the life you had led
D Bm
While you was alive is when we gave you flowers
A G
You taught me love is the way a man stays in power
D Bm
You taught me always be brave and stay away from cowards
A G
I only wish that Heaven had visitation hours
D Bm
I can’t lie, me and my brothers, we’ve been taking it hard
A
Lately this is how it is, conversations
N.C. D
With God is like

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm A
That was my heart you broke
G D
That was my friend you stole
Dm
That was the man
D A G
That made me who I am……
D Bm A
Now you see this mask I wear
G D
Out in the sun’s despair
Bm
Goodbye plans
A G
And I guess I’ll never understand……

[Chorus]

D Bm
Still my hero…..
D G
Still my hero…..
D Bm
Still my hero…..
D G
Still my hero…..
