SONG: miracles
ALBUM: ernst & not colored too perfect
STANDARD TUNING: 12 string if you've got it
NOTE: Matt rocks out on the middle 8 but then calms it down once he gets back to the first part of the verse, and plays the rest quietly. If you don't know what I mean, just listen to the albums.

Lyrics:
   G7  G                     D          
They built a hero out of expections
               Em   Dsus4    C5
And what a hopeless hero was he
With sticks for legs 
Well he shook when the wind blew, even slightly

              Dsus4          Em7               
And he welcomed the smiles
C9        Dsus4
He welcomed the applause and he
Hoped theyd never forget 
Just who they thought he was

  G      
They dressed him up in
 D     
Rich mans clothes
   Em       Dsus4      C5
And told him he was beautiful
G           C      D11      G   G7 
And then they expected miracles
G/B           C      D11
Then they expected miracles

His parents were pleased
They went to all the parties
He was groomed for greatness
From the time he was young
Raised on a diet of television
He was taught to listen, kept dumb

And he welcomed desire
And reckless luxury
And the world soaked up
Every drop of drama and insecurity

And told him he was beautiful
And then they expected miracles
Then they expected miracles

Then one day his admirers just quit him
Packed up their paints and were gone
And he stood alone
Their beautiful disaster
Wondering where hed gone wrong

And he wanted their smiles
Wanted the applause
But no one would look him in the eye now
No one returned his calls

They dressed him up in
Rich mans clothes
And told him he was beautiful
And then they expected miracles
Then they expected miracles
