D-DU-UDU
 (I  can't get them up,
 I can't get them up,
 I can't get them up at all)
 Hey, ho, let go
 Good morning,  killer king, you're a star
 That's gorgeous,  hold it right where you are
 The weather's  kind of lousy today
 So what,  oh, what, oh, what’ll we play?
 Stratocaster  strapped to your back
 It's a semi-automatic  like Dad's
 He taught  you how to pause and reset
 And that’s  about as far as you get
 So what’s  the use in going outside?
 It's so depressing  when people die in real life
 I'd rather  pick up right where we left
 Making  out to faces of death,  ooh
 Making  out to faces of death
 And I  could save you, baby,  but it isn't  worth my time
 And I  could make you chase  me for a little  Price is Right
 It’s a hit,  but are you actually sure
 The targets  in the crowd are a blur
 The people  screaming just like they should
 But you  don't even know if you're good,  ooh
 You  don't even know if you're good
 So tie  them up and feed them the sand
Try  hard, tell us using your hands
 A picture's  worth a million words
 And  that way nobody gets hurt,  ooh
 And  that way nobody gets hurt
I  could save you, baby,  but it isn't  worth my time
 And I  could make you chase  me for a little  Price is Right
 (Woo-ooh-ooh
 Woo-ooh-ooh
 Woo-ooh–ooh,  ooh, ooh,  ooh, ooh)
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 Hey
X  marks the box in the hole  in the ground
 That goes off  at a breath, so careful, don't  make a sound
X  marks the box in the hole  in your head
 That you dug  for yourself, now lie  in  it
 Shut up  about all of that negative shit
 You wanted  to make it, and now that you're in
 You shut  your eyes and flip the cassette
 And that’s  about the time that they hit,  ooh
 And that’s  about the time that they hit
 What  the fuck is up with this shit?
 It's  certainly not worth getting upset
 His hands  are gone, and most of his head
 And just  when he was getting so good
 Just  when he was getting so good
I  could save you, baby,  but it isn't  worth my time
 'Cause even  if I saved  you, there's a million  more in line
 (Woo-ooh-ooh
 Woo-ooh-ooh
 Woo-ooh–ooh,  ooh, ooh,  ooh, ooh)
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 You’re my guitar  hero
 Oh

([E]I can't get them up,
I can't get them up,
I can't get them up at all)
Hey, ho, let go

[Am]  [Dm]  [Am]  [Dm]

Good m[Am]orning, killer king, you're a s[Dm]tar
That's g[Am]orgeous, hold it right where you [Dm]are
The w[G]eather's kind of lousy to[Dm]day  [C]
So wh[F]at, oh, what, oh, what’ll we p[Am]lay?   [E]        [E7]

St[Am]ratocaster strapped to your b[Dm]ack
It's a s[Am]emi-automatic like D[Dm]ad's
He t[G]aught you how to pause and r[Dm]eset  [C]
And th[F]at’s about as far as you g[Am]et    [E]         [E7]

So wh[Am]at’s the use in going out[Dm]side?
It's so depr[Am]essing when people die in real l[Dm]ife
I'd r[G]ather pick up right where we l[Dm]eft   [C]
M[F]aking out to faces of d[C/G]eath, ooh
M[F]aking out to faces of d[Am]eath   [E]       [E7]

And [A]I could save you, b[D]aby, but it [C]isn't worth my t[F]ime
And [A]I could make you ch[D]ase me for a l[C]ittle Price is R[F]ight

It’s a h[Am]it, but are you actually s[Dm]ure
The t[Am]argets in the crowd are a b[Dm]lur
The p[G]eople screaming just like they sh[Dm]ould   [C]
But y[F]ou don't even know if you're g[C/G]ood, ooh
Y[F]ou don't even know if you're g[Am]ood   [E]        [E7]

So [Am]tie them up and feed them the s[Dm]and
[Am]Try hard, tell us using your h[Dm]ands
A p[G]icture's worth a million w[Dm]ords  [C]
A[F]nd that way nobody gets h[C/G]urt, ooh
A[F]nd that way nobody gets h[Am]urt   [E]        [E7]

[A]I could save you, b[D]aby, but it i[C]sn't worth my t[F]ime
And [A]I could make you ch[D]ase me for a l[C]ittle Price is R[F]ight

(W[A]oo-ooh-o[D]oh
W[C]oo-ooh-o[F]oh
W[A]oo-ooh–o[D]oh, ooh, o[C]oh, ooh, o[F]oh)

You’re my gui[Am]tar hero
You’re my gui[Dm]tar hero
You’re my gui[Am]tar hero
You’re my gui[Dm]tar hero
H[E]ey

[Am]X marks the box in the h[Dm]ole in the ground
That goes [C]off at a breath, so careful, d[E]on't make a sound
[Am]X marks the box in the h[Dm]ole in your head
That you d[C]ug for yourself, now l[E]ie in[E7] it

Shut [Am]up about all of that negative s[Dm]hit
You w[Am]anted to make it, and now that you're [Dm]in
You sh[G]ut your eyes and flip the cass[Dm]ette  [C]
And th[F]at’s about the time that they [C/G]hit, ooh
And th[F]at’s about the time that they [Am]hit    [E]         [E7]

W[Am]hat the fuck is up with this s[Dm]hit?
I[Am]t's certainly not worth getting up[Dm]set
His h[G]ands are gone, and most of his h[Dm]ead   [C]
And ju[F]st when he was getting so g[C/G]ood
J[F]ust when he was getting so g[Am]ood   [E]        [E7]

[A]I could save you, b[D]aby, but it [C]isn't worth my t[F]ime
'Cause e[A]ven if I s[D]aved you, there's a m[C]illion more in l[F]ine

(W[A]oo-ooh-o[D]oh
W[C]oo-ooh-o[F]oh
W[A]oo-ooh–o[D]oh, ooh, o[C]oh, ooh, o[F]oh)

You’re my gui[Am]tar hero
You’re my gui[Dm]tar hero
You’re my gui[Am]tar hero
You’re my gui[Dm]tar hero
You’re my gui[Am]tar hero

Oh
