LIVE DROPPED TUNING VERSION:
In this QM2 video version, Carly performs it in Abm,
a semi-tone lower then the original key. She uses the
same chord shapes as the tab, but she has all her
strings tuned down a half-step to: D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#
so all chords will actually sound a semi-tone lower
than written:

[Verse 1]
E7#5   N.C.         Am9
       Well, I have known you...
Dm7                    Am9
   ...since you were a small boy,
Dm7            Am9          Dm7
      And your mama used to say,
          Am9
"Well, my boy is gonna grow up,
    Dm7                    Am9          Dm7
And be some kind of leader some day"
 
[Verse 2]
           E7
Then you'd turn on the radio,
    Amaj7
And sing with the singer in the band,
Am9
     Your mama would say to you,
      D9    N.C.         E7 N.C.          E7#5  E7 *
"This isn't exactly what we had planned"
 
[Chorus]
             Am9            Dm7
But you're a legend in your own time,
                Am9         Dm7
(You are...)  A hero in the footlights,
          Am9                      Dm7
(Legend-------!)  Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
       D9              E7     N.C.
But, a legend's only a lonely boy,
     Am9                   Dm7
When he goes home alone
 
[Bridge]
 Am9           Dm7          E    F#m11/E Em7   E7

[Verse 3]
N.C.         Am9
And though I know you...
Dm7                               Am9
  ...still have the heart of that small boy,
Dm7            Am9                 Dm7
     Well, you lend it out far too much,
    Am9                 Dm7
And no one woman loving you...
                              Am9    N.C.      Dm7
Can ever feel that she's been really touched
 
[Verse 4]
N.C.       E7
Then you'd turn on the radio,
    Amaj7
And sing with the singer in the band,
Am9
Think kinda sadly to yourself,
     D9    N.C.         E7  N.C.         E7
This isn't exactly what you had planned-------!
 
[Chorus]
             Am9            Dm7
But you're a legend in your own time,
                Am9         Dm7
(You are...)  A hero in the footlights,
          Am9                      Dm7
(Legend--------!) Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
       D9              E7     N.C.
But, a legend's only a lonely boy,
     Am9                Dm7    Am9     Dm7
When he goes home alone
 
[Coda]
         D9              E7     N.C.
 Well, a legend's only a lonely boy------...
        Am9                 Dm7    Am9     Dm7
...When he goes home alone--------------!
