Intro: GCD (4x) GCD
So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead
GCD
Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead
CG
Or fly like a bird over all the works of man
C
Or always think of the perfect words
G
But you do the best you can
CD
Nothing seems as easy as it did when you were young
GCD
Myths may be invincible, but we are only strong
CG
Strong like a memory, strong like a willow in the wind
C
Strong as you'll ever be
G
You will always need to bend
Chorus:
CAD
And if you feel the weight of the world
DGC
Put your mind at ease
D
Little Hercules
Interlude: GCDGCDGCDG
There are times when being a grown-up gets to be too much
CD
And your sense of humour seems to vanish in the crush
CG
Of the daily 9 to 9 that keeps your family alive
C
You're just putting in your time
G
Does anyone really go home at 5?
CDG
You've made a life where no one ever tells you what to do
CD
And now the only tyrant that you're working for is you
CG
It's never easy to keep all the promises you make
C
No one's gonna get you fired
G
You just give yourself a break
Chorus:
CAD
And if you feel the weight of the world
DGC
Put your mind at ease
D
Little Hercules
Chorus:
CAD
'Cause there's so much on your shoulders
DGC
But you know it's a breeze
