Chords
 
[Intro]
D G G A x2
 
[VERSE]
D          G             G        A
He doesn't fight crime or wear a cape
D          G            G    A
He doesn't read minds or levitate
D                   G                G              A
But every time my world needs saving, he's my superman
D          G                         G                        A
Some folks don't believe in heroes 'cause they haven't met my dad
 
D G G A x2
 
D             G        G        A
He loves his workshop and rock and roll
D          G          G            A
He's got a hot rod and a heart of gold
D                       G                 G        A
And you could say he's a man of few words, but he talks a lot within
D                    G                G           A
And even though I'm a little taller, I still look up to him
 
[CHORUS]
G               A          D/F#      D/B
He built me a house in the arms of a tree
G               A          D/F#            D/B
He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream
G               A          D   A/C#  Bm A
When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see
G                A
That my dad's a hero to me
 
D G G A x2
 
[VERSE]
D             G        G        A
Rust-ridden fenders, and doors full of dings
D             G        G        A
Somehow he can fix about anything
D                   G              G        A
I didn't think he knew how to cry till our dog died that year
D                    G              G        A
He doesn't always say I love you, but I can hear him loud and clear
 
[CHORUS]
G               A          D/F#      D/B
He built me a house in the arms of a tree
G               A          D/F#            D/B
He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream
G               A          D   A/C#  Bm A
When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see
G                A
That my dad's a hero to me
 
[SOLO]
D G G A x4
 
[CHORUS]

He built me a house in the arms of a tree
G               A          D/F#            D/B
He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream
G               A          D   A/C#  Bm A
When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see
G                A
That my dad's a hero to me
