[Intro]
Play C or use intro/verse riff
 
[Verse 1] (Play intro/verse riff throughout)
C
I am that dickhead in the kitchen
       F            G           C
Giving wine to your best girl's glass
C
I am an amateur pornographer
F          G            C
Unpleasant publisher by hand
 
 
[Chorus 1] (Play intro/verse riff throughout)
C                   F      G       C
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
C                   F      G       C    (C F G C)
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
 
 
[Verse 2] (Play intro/verse riff throughout)
C
I see stumbling pinstriped trouser
F         G          C
Flecks of sick on an office shoe
C
Part of the fatty British average
F                G      C
Who lives in the houses around you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    Am    G   Am    F      G             C (verse riff)
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
    Am    G   Am    F      G             C (verse riff)
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
 
 
[Verse 3] (play intro/verse riff throughout)
C
Let's all crowd 'round the cowering body
             F        G          C
Throw stocky fingers, bricks and stones
C
Let's promise every girl we marry
F            G                 C
We'll always love them when we probably won't
 
 
[Verse 4] (Play intro/verse riff throughout)
C
While the knight in shitty armour
         F         G      C
Rips the drunk out of her dress
C
One man tears into another
        F        G          C
Hides a coward's heart in a lion's chest
 
 
[Verse 5]
        Am                          G Am
Man, he breeds although he shouldn't
              F       G       C (verse riff)
He's breeding just because he comes
         Am                  G Am
Acts the father for a minute
         F     G         C (verse riff)
Till the worst instincts return
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    Am    G   Am    F      G       C
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
    Am    G   Am    F      G       C
Not here, not here, heroic acts of man
 
 
[Verse 6]
C
I have never wanted more, to be a man
C          F     G      C
To build a house around you
     G
I am just like all the rest of them
F                         C
Sorry, selfish, trying to improve
 
 
[Chorus 4]
    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
