[Intro] F  Dm  Bb  C

            F    Dm      C    Bb  C
Real human being  and a real hero

F                  Dm           
 Back against the wall and odds
Bb                            C
  With the strength of a will and a cause
   F                       Dm
Your pursuits are called outstanding
   Bb              C
You're emotionally complex

F                      Dm           
Against the grain of dystopic claims
         Bb                    C
Not the thoughts your actions entertained
     F           Dm      Bb
And you, have proved, to be

[Chorus]

C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero

F             Dm            Bb    C
A pilot on a cold, cold morn 155 people on board
F                  Dm             Bb             C
All safe and all rescued from the slowly sinking ship
       F               Dm        
Water warmer than his head so cool
         Bb              C                F        Dm      Bb
In that tight bind knew what to do and you, have proved, to be

[Chorus]

C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb
Real human being  and a real hero
C           F    Dm          Bb   C
Real human being  and a real hero
