Intro: G  C  D  (4x)  G 

              C                      D 
So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead 
   G                C               D 
Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead 
              C         G             
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 


                 C          D 
Nothing seems as easy as it did when you were young 
G              C             D 
Myths may be invincible, but we are only strong 
              C                     G            
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 

 
           C        A             D 
And if you feel the weight of the world 
D/F#     G       C 
Put your mind at ease 
       D

G                    C                D                    G 
There are times when being a grown-up gets to be too much 
                  C               D 
And your sense of humour seems to vanish in the crush 
       C                            G          
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? 


                         C                     D            G 
You've made a life where no one ever tells you what to do 
                 C                  D                     
And now the only tyrant that you're working for is you 
           C                    G 
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 

 
           C        A             D 
And if you feel the weight of the world 
D/F#     G       C 
Put your mind at ease

               C       A       D 
'Cause there's so much on your shoulders 
D/F#    G           C 
But you know it's a breeze 
       D
