Hiros Song Tab

by Ben Folds


Good luck with the solo, I can't help you there.

                
My Name is Hiro. I am fifty-one.
                 
Since 1980 life has been no fun, and
 
I      don't want to die.
                       
I left my family for the secretary

      
     Oh, oh

     Oh, oh

     Oh, oh

     Oh, oh

                       
Her name is Yuko she is twenty-two.
                           
She and my daughter were best friends in high school.
                       
They say I'm crazy and it's temporary,
                           
But I refuse to rot like a contemporary.
 
I    wanna explode
              
In a Karaoke Supernova

       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
                 
In a Karaoke Supernova, yeah


                                  
Last night she dressed me up in hip hop pants.
                            
The phat g-stylin rides below your *ss.
                                  
She wants to show me to her mom and dad.
                             
I told her I would not be down with that.
                                 
cuz lately I can feel the years between us
                                   
I hope to God my friends at work don't see us
                                  
Tonight she asked me if I've ever seen Jesus

Cuz she has backstage passes for three of us

       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
                 
In a Karaoke Supernova, yeah
    

     

                                              
So now she's gone and broke my heart, God damn her,
                                       
Turns out she's been fucking this drum programmer.
                               
She likes his style. She likes his rock star glamour.
                            
She's an infant! He can d*mn well have her!

       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?

       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
       
I don't wanna grow old.
                           
Won't you let me? Won't you let me explode?
