[Abm] [C] [Gb]
[Abm] [C] [Gb] [F]
[Ab] I miss [Cm] the days my [Gb] mind would just rest quiet
[Ab] My [C] imagination [Gb] hadn't turned on [F] me [Ab] yet
I [Cm] used to let my [Gb] words wax poetic
[F] But it melted, [E] puddled my feet
[Ab] Now, it [Cm] is a [Gb] calcifying crime, it's tragic
[Ab] I've [Cm] turned a petrified [Gb] past life [F] baggage
[Ab] I want [Cm] to disappear [Gb] and just start over
[Fm] So, here [Db] you are
And I'll breathe again
Cause I've said [Bb] [Fm] before
I won't bring [Ab] it [Eb] back
Fall on my knees, [Fm] pick [Bbm] me up, [Cm] please
[Db] I was meant to [Eb] be [Ab] a [Eb] reality
Make me a
[Ab] [C] herculean
[Gb] [F]
[Ab] I've [Cm] lost the grip on [Gb] where I started from
[Ab] I [Cm] wish I'd thought [Gb] ahead and left a few [F]
[Ab] crumbs
I'm [Cm] on the hunt for who [Gb] I've not yet [F] become
I'd settle [E] for a little equilibrium
[Ab] There [Cm] is a war [Gb] inside my heart gone silent
[Ab] Both [Cm] sides [Gb] dissatisfied and somewhat [F]
[Ab] violent
The [Cm] issue I have [Gb] now begun to see
I [Fm] am the only [F] lonely [Db]
casualty
This is not the end, no
Cause I've [G] said [Fm] before
I won't bring it [Eb] back
[Fm] Fall on my knees, pick [Bbm] me up, [Eb]
[Db] please
I was meant to [Eb] be a [Ab] reality
[Eb] [Bbm] Make me a [Ab]
[Db] herculean
Cause I've said [G] [Fm] before
I won't bring it [Eb] back
Fall on my [Db] knees, pick me up, [Fm]
please
[Db] I was meant to [Eb] be a [F] reality
[Eb] Make me a
[Bbm] [G] herculean
This [Bbm] is my darkest [Fm] hour
On the road has led me out
And [Eb] you turn around [Bbm] to face the light
[Fm] And it's a [Eb] flight of fire
[Bb] [Bbm] Cause I [Fm] have set it [Ab] fire
[Cm] A [Fm]
[Gm] warrior [Db] from [Cm] my [Db]
[Eb] [Fm] [Ab] Hercules
[Fm] I was [Db] meant to [Fm] be
[Db] And [Bbm] I've said
[Fm] [Eb] Fall [Fm] on my knees, pick me up, please
[Db] I was meant [Eb] to be [Ab] a reality
[Eb]
Make me a [Ab] [C] herculean
[Gb] [Abm] [C]
[Gb] [F]
