i asked you a question   but i didn't need you to reply

Bb                   Cm            F
is it gettin' heavy??   but then i realized...

Eb             Bb    Cm        Gm               G#       Eb           F
 is it gettin' heavy??  well i thought it was already as heavy as can be

is it overwhelming to use a crane to crush a fly??
a good time for superman to lift the sun into the sky

cos it's gettin' heavy / well i thought it was already as heavy as can be

Cm        Dm   Eb            Bb
tell everybody waitin' for a superman
that they should try to hold on best they can
he hasn't dropped them, forgot them or anything

Cm              Dm          Eb          Bb      F    
  it's just too heavy for a superman to lift

Bb    Cm  F

is it gettin' heavy??  well i thought it was already as heavy as can be

tell everybody waitin' for a superman
that they should try to hold on best they can
he hasn't dropped them, forgot them or anything
it's just too heavy for a superman to lift

end on Bb
