[Abm] [C]
[Gb] [Abm] [C]
[Gb] [F] [Ab] I [Cm] miss the days my [Gb] mind would just rest [Ab] quiet
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 at my feet
[Ab] Now, [Cm] it is a [Gb] calcifying crime, it's [Ab] tragic
I've [Cm] turned to [Gb] petrified, past life [F] [Ab] baggage
I [Cm] want to [Gb] disappear and just start [Fm] over
So, here [Db] you are
[Ab] And I'll breathe [Db] again
Cause I've said [G] [Fm] before
No more [Ab] breathing
[Eb] [Cm] Come [Fm] on my knees, make [Bbm] me a [Cm] Hercules
[Db] I was meant [Eb] to be a [Ab] warrior
[Eb] Please, make me a [Abm] Hercules
[C]
[Gb] I've [F] [Ab] [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 [Gb] who I've not yet [F] become
I'd settle [E] for a little equilibrium
[Ab] There [Cm] is a war [Gb] inside my heart from the start
[Ab] Both [Cm] sides [Gb] dissatisfied and somewhat [Fm] [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 said [G] [Fm] before
No more [Ab] breathing
[Eb] Come on my [Fm] knees, make [Bbm] me a [Cm] [Db] Hercules
I was meant to [Eb] be a [Ab] warrior
[Eb]
[Fm] [Bbm]
[G] [Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] Please, make me a Hercules
I've lost the [Eb] grip on where I started from
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on [Ab] the hunt [Eb]
for [Bbm] who I've not yet become
I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my [Fm] heart from the start
Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent
The long road has led me out
[Eb] I'm turning around [Bbm] to face the light
[Fm] And it's not a [Eb] flight or flight
[Fm] Cause I [Eb] have [Fm] settled [Ab] [Cm] for a [Gm] warrior
[Db] Come on my knees, [Bb] [Fm]
[Eb] [Fm] make [Bb] [Db] me a Hercules
I've [Fm] been there, [Db] [Bbm] [Fm] I've been there
[Eb] Come on my [Fm] knees, make me a [Db] Hercules
Oh, [Eb] [Ab] I've been [Eb] there
Make me a Hercules
[Abm] [C] [Gb]
