[Verse 1]
G          Bm                 F
I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet

G       Bm            F            Em
My imagination hadn't turned on me yet

G         Bm           F
I used to let my words wax poetic

Em              Eb
But it melted a puddle at my feet now

G       Bm         F
It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic

G              Bm        F            Em
I've turned to petrified past life baggage

G         Bm        F
I want to disappear and just start over

Em         C   Cmaj7
So here we are, and I'll breathe again
[Chorus]
Cmaj7              Em         D            Em
Cause I have sent for a warrior from on my knees

               Cmaj7               D
Make me a Hercules, I was meant to be a warrior please

                G   Bm   F     Em
Make me a Hercules
[Verse 2]
G           Bm              F
I've lost a grip on where I started from

G          Bm                F             Em
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs

G          Bm                F
I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become

Em            Eb
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium

G          Bm            F
There is a war inside my heart gone silent

G             Bm            F           Em
Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent

G         Bm           F
The issue I have now begun to see

         Em          C        Cmaj7
I am the only lonely casualty, this is not the end, no
[Chorus]
Cmaj7              Em         D            Em
Cause I have sent for a warrior from on my knees

               Cmaj7               D
Make me a Hercules, I was meant to be a warrior please

Em             Cmaj7                   Em         D
Make me a Hercules, cause I have sent for a warrior

           Em                    Cmaj7
From on my knees, make me a Hercules

               D
I was meant to be a warrior please, make me a Hercules
[Bridge]
Am
   This is my darkest hour

Em
   A long road has led me out here

D                                Am
  But I only need turn around to face the light

Em       D             N.C.
And deci-ide flight or fight
[Chorus]
Cmaj7      Em       D         Em             Cmaj7
Cause I have sent for a warrior from on my knees

     Em        D         Em
Make me a Hercules, I was meant to be

Cmaj7              Em         D            Em
Cause I have sent for a warrior from on my knees

               Cmaj7               D
Make me a Hercules, I was meant to be a warrior please

                G   Bm   F       G   Bm   F     Em
Make me a Hercules
