NC G He wasn't there when I needed him FC No, he was never around G His reputation was preceding him FC And he was out on the town G It didn't matter if he let me down FC I didn't care about the lies G Now all I knew was that he loved me very much FC He was my hero in disguise
BbFC I'm so pleased I never gave up on him BbFC Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did BbFCD And everyone said you have to give him some time FGC And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine
NC G Now you see I never thought you’d be FC a constant person in my life G And I don't think that you would be if FC you’d have stayed with your ex wife G I know you wouldn't but there is no need FC No need to apologise G Because I know you'll always love me very much FC You are my hero in disguise

NC G You might have thought you didn't teach me much FC But you taught me right from wrong G And it was when you didn't keep in touch FC Well it taught me to be strong G And just in case you ever thought I would FC I wouldn't change you for the world G Because I know you'll always love me very much FC I'll always be you're little girl
