All My Heroes Are Dying

[Bob Juch]

I wrote this yesterday and polished it this afternoon. I have a long queue of my songs to be recorded, and this is at the bottom.


All My Heroes Are Dying

80 BPM

[Verse 1]
[ G ] When I was just a boy, I'd [ C ] look up to the sky,
[ D ] Dreamin' of those stars, the [ C ] great ones, you and [ G ] I.
[ Em ] Posters on my walls, records [ C ] playing every night,
[ D ] Now I've grown old, and they're [ C ] fading from my [ D ] sight.

[Chorus]
[ G ] My heroes are all dying, [ Em ] but their stories still [ C ] remain,
[ Em ] Echoes of their voices, [ C ] through the joy, through the [ D ] pain.
[ G ] Even as the pages of [ Em ] time continue to [ C ] turn,
[ Em ] In my heart, those legends [ C ] will forever [ D ] burn.

[Verse 2]
[ G ] Rock and roll, the movies, [ C ] heroes on the field,
[ D ] Stood tall and mighty, their [ C ] spirits wouldn't [ G ] yield.
[ Em ] Some sang about love, some [ C ] fought for what's right,
[ D ] But now, one by one, they're [ C ] stepping out of the [ D ] light.

[Chorus]
[ G ] My heroes are all dying, [ Em ] but their memories stay [ C ] alive,
[ Em ] Guiding me, reminding me, [ C ] helping me survive.
[ G ] Though the stage is empty, [ Em ] and the spotlight starts to [ C ] wane,
[ Em ] In the chorus of the past, I still [ C ] hear their [ D ] refrain.

[Bridge]
[ Am ] Time is like a river, [ Em ] swiftly flowing to the [ D ] sea,
[ Am ] Carrying away my heroes, but they're [ Em ] always here with me.
[ C ] Every wrinkle, every scar, [ G ] tells a tale of days gone [ Em ] by,
[ C ] Tales of love and loss, of [ G ] hellos and [ D ] goodbyes.

[Verse 3]
[ G ] I've seen the brightest stars, [ C ] fall from the night,
[ D ] But in the canvas of my memories, they [ C ] forever shine [ G ] bright.
[ Em ] Though the world keeps changing, [ C ] and youth slips away,
[ D ] I cherish every moment, every [ C ] song, every [ D ] play.

(Instrumental break)

[Chorus]
[ G ] My heroes are all dying, [ Em ] yet they'll never truly [ C ] go,
[ Em ] In the legacy they left, in the [ C ] seeds that they did [ D ] sow.
[ G ] As I gaze into the sunset, [ Em ] feeling the passage of [ C ] time,
[ Em ] I take comfort in knowing their legends [ C ] are forever [ D ] mine.

[Outro]
[ C ] So here's to my heroes, [ G ] to the memories we share,
[ C ] You may be gone, but in my heart, you're [ G ] always there.
[ G ] Time may keep moving, but one [ Em ] thing is undying,
[ Em ] The love for my heroes and the [ C ] dreams they keep [ D ] inspiring.
