14The kind that drugstores sell
A20                  A721             D22
15When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    E23              F#m24
16The hero would be me
    D25            A26
17But heroes often fail
    D27                   A28
18And you won't read that book again
   Bm729               E30                  A31
19Because the ending's just too hard to take

27I never thought I could act this way
Bm753                        E54
28And I've got to say that I just don't get it
D55                  A56

        Bm757
