[Intro]
Em F# G Em D F# G
[Verse]
Em D G A C B7
My heart's getting bigger so I need a new pant size
Em D G A C B7
When you're the tower of strength people climb up your backside
Am7 D
So you don't stay that way too long
Am7 D
You're only temporarily strong
[Chorus]
G Em
I've got mercy, mercy to go
G Em
I've got mercy, mercy to go
Am7 D
And then it's all gone
[Verse]
Em D G A C B7
You don't swim up and grab a drowning man
Em D G A C B7
'Cause he'll use you as a life raft if he can
Am7 Am D
It's better to hold a out a branch
Am7 D
Then the tree, and then the whole ranch
[Chorus]
G Em
'Cause I've got mercy, mercy to go
G Em
I've got mercy, mercy to go
G Em
I've got mercy, mercy to go
Am7 D
And then it's all gone
[Bridge]
C B7
As I mature I learn to speak my mind
G A
On the other hand I learn to be patient & let it ride
C
Between these two traits is a line
B7
You step on it all of the time
G Em
Why do these things always happen to you?
G Em
I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too
G Em7
When we count up all of our wounds
Am7 D
You're the desert, I'm one of the dunes
[Verse]
Em G Am Em D
I never met a manipulator that wasn't paranoid
Em Am Am7 Cm D
They see in themselves what in others they should avoid
Am7 D
All the devious plans aren't there
Am7 D
Ghosts fly out from under their hair
G Em G Em
And I get to hear about it, and it comes in heavy waves
G Em G Em Am7 D
And I'm lying under your downer, with no breathing space
[Chorus]
G Em
And I've still got mercy, mercy to go
Am7 D
And when it's all gone (gone, gone gone)
Am7 D
I guess it's all gone...
