D                                    G              D
Took a look at this morning's paper, same old story as before
D                                  E7              A
Headlines read some crazy dictator tried to start another war
F#m                               Bm               G
I can't wait for the day when the bad guys finally lose
    D              A         D  
And ordinary heroes make the news


Chorus:
G                               D
Extra, extra read all about it, mother of four takes a part-time job
G                                              E7                            A
Does the shopping, folds the laundry, when her man works late, she keeps his dinner hot
D                                           G                     E7
Don't you know if it were up to me I'd give credit where credit's due
        D              A         D
And let ordinary heroes make the news


I'd turn on the tube but what's the use, I know what I will see
Another madman's on the loose and we're the ones who set him free
I wish someone could talk some sense into those TV crews
And let ordinary heroes make the news

Chorus 2:
Eyewitness report, tune in at ten, man gets up and goes to work again
Slaves all day to cover them bills, don't want to pay his taxes but you know he will
If I had a camera and a satellite, I'd give the world a better point of view
And let ordinary heroes make the news

Solo

Chorus

Tag:
We oughta fill the front pages and the TV screens with folks just like you
And let ordinary heroes make the news, yeah, let ordinary heroes make the news
