G D/F# Csus2 Em7 G
There are no words, to paint a picture of you girl
G D/F# Csus2 Em7
G
Your eyes, those curves, it’s like you’re from some other world
G D/F# Csus2 Em7 G
You walk my way, oh god it’s so frustrating.
G D/F# Csus2
So why do I disappear when you come near,
Em7 G
It makes me feel so small,
G D/F# Csus2
Why do I blow my lines, most every time,
Em7 G
It’s like I got no chance at all,
G D/F#
If I could be your superman,
Csus2 Em7 G
I’d fly you to the stars and back again.
G D/F#
Cos everytime you touched my hand,
Csus2 Em7 G
You feel my powers running through your veins
G D/F#
But I can only write this song,
Csus2 Em7
And tell you that I’m not that strong.
G Em7 G Em7
Cos I’m no superman, I hope you like me as I am.
It aint no lie, I have to tell you how I feel,
But each time, I try it gets a little more unreal,
You say my name, oh god I can’t stop shaking,
So why do I disappear when you come near,
It makes me feel so small,
If I could read your mind,
Girl would I find, any trace of me at all.
If I could be your superman,
I’d fly you to the stars and back again.
Cos everytime you touched my hand,
You feel my powers running through your veins
But I can only write this song,
And tell you that I’m not that strong.
Cos I’m no superman, I hope you like me as I am
