Verse:
C G
I can't stand to fly
C F
I'm not that naive
C G
I'm just out to find
C F
The better part of me
C G
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
F
More than some pretty face beside a train
C G C
It's not easy to be me
C G
Wish that I could cry
C F
Fall upon my knees
C G
Find a way to lie
C F
About a home I'll never see
C G
It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve
F
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
C G
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
F
Even Heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me Well It's all right...
C Am

F G
I'm not crazy...or anything...
C G
I can't stand to fly
C F
I'm not that naive
C G
Men weren't meant to ride
C F
With clouds between their knees
C G
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
F
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
C G C G
Only a man in a funny red sheet
F
Looking for special things inside of me
C G C
It's not easy to be me
Have fun :-)
Later gang
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FIVE FOR FIGHTING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
