Lyrics
Capo 4th fret
[D]I want to be a [Am]superhero
[Em7]I want to save [A7]mankind
[D]If I was a [Am]superhero
[Em7]I bet all of the criminals would [A7]hide
[G]Of course, I’d have to learn my [A]superpowers
My [G]backstory and my [A]working hours
And order a [G]custom Hollywood[A] superhero costume
[Bm]hand-made just for [A]me[A7]
I want to be superhero
With a split personality
I'd be moody, I'd be jolly
I'd be fluent in 15 languagees
Would I work for a major metropolitan newspaper?
Fly a jet or be a NASCAR racer?
Or keep my window washer job in case this superhero phase is just a tease
I want to be a super hero
with big muscles and such
I'd possess intellectual curiosity
that would rival the power of my punch
I’d be complex, yet also simple
A champion of the good with a catchy music jingle
In daily life I’d look normal so with ordinary people I could be
So, come on, let me be your superhero
Please name a movie franchise after me
I want to wear tights, I want to pick fights
I want a lasting legacy
Maybe you can assist me with my superhero lessons
My license application, my past sins confession
I’d welcome any help to get me closer to fighting the next crime spree
I want to be a superhero
I'll be there for all of your city's grand openings
