Intro: play C or use intro/verse riff 



Verse 1 chords: play intro/verse riff thru-out 

C  
I am that dickhead in the kitchen 
Giving wine to your best girl's glass 
I am an amateur pornographer 
Unpleasant publisher by hand 



C 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 
C 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 



Verse 2 chords: play intro/verse riff thru-out 
C 
I see stumbling pinstriped trouser 
Flecks of sick on an office shoe 
Part of the fatty British average 
Who lives in the houses around you 



    Am                              C verse riff 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 
    Am                              Cverse riff 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 




Verse 3 chords: play intro/verse riff thru-out 

C 
Let's all crowd 'round the cowering body 
Throw stocky fingers, bricks and stones 
Let's promise every girl we marry 
We'll always love them when we probably won't 


Verse 3: play intro/verse riff thru-out 

C 
While the knight in shitty armour 
Rips the drunk out of her dress 
One man tears into another 
Hides a coward's heart in a lion's chest 


Verse 4:
 
        Am 
Man, he breeds although he shouldn't 
                              C verse riff 
He's breeding just because he comes 
         Am 
Acts the father for a minute 
                         C verse riff 
Till the worst instincts return 



C 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 
C 
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man 



Verse 5:
 
C 
I have never wanted more, to be a man 
C 
To build a house around you 
     G 
I am just like all the rest of them 
F                         C 
Sorry, selfish, trying to improve 



    G         F                      C 
I'm here, I'm here, not heroic but I try 
    G         F                      C 
I'm here, I'm here, not heroic but I try 



Outro: G  F  C (2x)
