Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Woke up this morning,
started to sneeze
[G]Had a cigarette and a [Am]cup of tea
I looked in the mirror, what did I see?
A [G]nine stone weakling with [Am]knobbly knees
I did my knees bend, press ups,
touched my toes
[G]Had another sneeze and I [Am]blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to [G]pull on my clothes
because it [Am]made me depressed
[F]Surely there must [C]be a way
[G]For me to change the [Am]shape I'm in
I'm [F]dissatisfied with [C]what I am
[G]I wanna be a bett[E]er m[Am]an
Superman, Superman
[C]Shot to [G]fly like Su[Am]perman
Superman, Superman
[C]I wanna b[G]e like Sup[Am]erman[C]
I to [G]be like Su[Am]perman
Superman, Superman
[C]Wish I [G]could fly like Su
[Am]perman[A][Am]
Woke up this morning, what did I see?
A [G]big black cloud hanging [Am]over me
I switched on the radio
and nearly dropped dead
The [G]news was so bad that
I [Am]fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike,
lorry strike, red strike
Got[G]ta be a superman [Am]to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
[G]I'm such a wreck but I'm [Am]staying alive
Hey girl, we gotta get out
of this place
[G]There's gotta be something
bet[Am]ter than this
I need you but I hate to see you this way
If [G]I was Superman then
I'd [Am]fly you away
I'd [F]really like to [C]change the world
[G]Save it from the [Am]mess it's in
[F]I'm too weak, [C]I'm so thin
[G]I'd like to fly but I can't even [F]swim[E][C][Am][C]
[G][Am][C][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][B][Am]
Superman, Superman, [C]oh,
I wanna [G]fly like Su[Am]perman
Superman, Superman
[C]I wanna f[G]ly like Sup[Am]erman
