We get to break out of prison, make [C] love to our best friend's wife, [G] have a beer for breakfast in Boston, drink rum in Jamaica [C] that night.
We get to tell all our secrets in a code no one [F] understands.
[G] We get to shoot all the bad guys that never get [C] blood on our hands.
We're [F] heroes, we're schemers, we're drunks and we're dreamers, [C] we're lovers [G] and sometimes [C] we're fighters.
[F] We're students, we're teachers, we're the devil, we're preachers, [C] we're true love but [G] mostly one-nighters.
We're the [C] songwriters.
Half the world thinks we're crazy and the other half wants to [G] be us.
And they're jealous cause we get to hang out in the back of some big star's tour [C] bus.
We're old boots and t-shirts and blue jeans, we're capos and strings [F] and E-chords.
[G] We only dress up in November when they hand out [C] songwriters awards.
[F] We're heroes, we're schemers, we're drunks and we're dreamers, we're lovers [G] and sometimes we're fighters.
[F] We're the truth, we're the lies, we're stupid, we're wise, [C] we're true love but mostly one [G]-nighters.
We're the songwriters.
[F] We ride [G] bridges, we [C] cross them and burn them, teach lessons but don't bother to [G] learn them.
[C] Our mamas don't know what we're doing or why we stay [G] out all night long.
I told mine I was a drug dealer.
She said, [Ebm] thank God you ain't writing [C] songs.
[F] We're heroes, we're schemers, we're drunks and we're [C] dreamers, we're lovers [G] and sometimes [C] we're fighters.
