Tuning is like most Our Lady Peace tunes...
Half a step down(Eb Ab Db Gb)
The song is really easy. There are only
four parts to remember. Just listen to
the song to get the timing.
1. Most of the song goes like this.
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----5-------3---|
E|7-------5-------|
2.The last part of every chorus, skip the second last note and
hold the last note.
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----5---3-------|
E|7---------------|
3. Middle of song. You'll know when you hear it.
(Just before the last part)
G|----------------|
D|5---4---3---2---|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
4. End Of the Song ("Doesn't anybody ever know...")
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----5-------7---|
E|3-------5-------|
That's all there is to it.
Have Fun.

| this song is actually about bullying, read it agian to see. "Superman's dead" means that theres nobody to save the person who's being bullied. | |

| i love this song. i defintately see the bullying interpretation, but the first time i heard the song it made me think of something else. I interpreted "superman's dead" as meaning that there is no one to save you from yourself. I thought the other phrases were talking about never being good enough for yourself and trying to pretend like you're fine when you're far from it. | |

| Wow i saw them in concert on saturday and they fuckin rocked. I always really liked them but damn they're awesome live. They started playing this song and i got up and crowd surfed and no one dropped me till the very last line and i went over the edge of the crowd head first on my back into the arms of a security guard and it was just so awesome cause I got the best view of the band playing my favorite song and wow. damn. anyhow, on to the meaning.... I'm totally in agreement about the lack of values today thing, that's just the general feel you get from hearing "superman's dead" it just sort of signifies the death of protection and what is good in the world. | |

| I also think that this song is about bullying. Some of the lines lead me to believe that it is about the bully, not the person who is being bullied. To me, "superman's dead" is the bully questioning him/herself. The bully was upholding a kind of bravado of emotional and physical strengh. His/her own personal idea of 'superman'. Then he/she realized that they weren't strong at all, instead they were the epitome of weak. Superman is dead, and they are empty. | |

| today everyone is expected more than they can give and you realize when you are alone that all the happiness you project is fake and you want someone to save you bt alass your superhero is dead... even thouh you think you're in love you need the opposite, being hate, to fufill the vicious cycle you've brought yourself by falling under this religon of pleasing everyone else | |
