[Verse]
G
My honey thinks I'm a coward
Am
My darling thinks I'm a dud
C G
My sweetheart swears I'm a bit too meek
G
My lover doubts I'm a fighter
Am
My sugar is sure I am neither
C G
My baby doll sprinkle-butt thinks I'm weak
[Bridge]
D
So you say to me: Why can't you be
C
More Like Bug Hunter
[Chorus]
G
Fighting petty thieves behind the Wendy's
D Em
thwarting robberies, defending all the cowards too afraid to be
C
Bug Hunter
G D
A vigilante and a fighter, pulling grannies out of fires
Em C
Though his spandex is too tight we love Bug Hunter
Em D
You can run, you can hide, can you change my mind?
[Verse]
G
My honey thinks I'm a coward
Am
that I have no superpowers
C G
that I'm just the average sloppy Joe
[Bridge]
D
So you say: no, I'll give you some credit, you do seem athletic
D
When you run/jump/leap from the scene and exit
D
You might be prophetic, at least telepathetic
D
So I'm thinking of a hero, no need to guess it
C
It might sting but let it, I'd be yours if you'd be a bit
Em C
More Like Bug Hunter
[Chorus]
G
When the skateboard park collapsed
D
Guess who dressed up in his mask,
Em
With 20 grannies on his back, that's right
C G
Bug Hunter... whereas you were not around
D
You disappeared when it went down,
Em
I found your clothes thrown on the ground
C
Why were you naked? Forget it
Em D G
You can run, you can hide, can you change? My mind's made up
Em D G
You can run, you can hide, can you change a mind made up?
[Bridge]
Am
But Do you wonder why there's so much
G
spandex in my laundry when you wash it? (Please stop putting it in the dryer)
Am
And when I missed your birthday
G
Did you catch the news that night 'cause if you'd watched it
Am
You'd note the lack of grannies dyin’ on your birthday
G
And do you ever wonder why the Honey Bee kidnaps you every weekend?
N.C. Am
Forcing me (I mean Bug Hunter) to come save you?
D
And you never say thank you! (or see us in the same room)
[Outro]
G
My honey thinks I'm a coward
Am
Eyes closed and all set to judge
Em D G
I can run, I can hide, I can't change -- your mind's made up
G
So go ahead and call me a coward
Am
The truth hurts; a lie never does
Em D G
I'd rather fight crime than your mind when your mind's made up
