[Intro]
G chord or e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|-------------2----------/5------|
E|-----1/3------------------------| (repeat)
[Verse 1]
G (or tab same as introduction)
Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities,
Em D C G
But I could make out as if I had it but you'd know,
Em D C G D
God I’m so obvious and I should let it go oh I don’t know.
[Chorus 1]
G
I’m no teenage icon,
C D
I’m no Frankie Avalon,
G C D G
I’m nobody’s hero.
[Verse 2]
G (or tab same as introduction)
Preserved and shy your average guy, no piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair,
Em D C G
But I always figured I was somebody in wake,
Em D C G D
And now I’m guessing that my moment must be late cause I'm here.
[Chorus 2]
G
I’m no teenage icon,
C D
I’m no Frankie Avalon,
G C D G
I’m nobody’s hero.
[Solo 1]
(G, C, D, Em, D, C, G, Em, D, C, G, Em, D, C, G, D)
[Bridge]
C D G C
I’m not magnetic or mythical,
C D G C
I’m suburban and typical,
C D G C D G
But I got it, I got I’m overrun with it all.
[Verse 3]
G
Seductive charm a way with words so effortless not leather clad or dangerous,
Em D C G
But I always did it like a real rebel would,
Em D C G
I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood,
D
or so I’m told.
[Chorus 3]
G
I’m no teenage icon,
C D
I’m no Frankie Avalon,
G C D
I’m nobody’s hero.
[Solo 2]
(G, C, D, G, C, D)
[Chorus 4]
G
I’m no teenage icon,
C D
I’m no Frankie Avalon,
G C D G
I’m nobody’s hero.
