Little Mercy Chords by Doomtree

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ Now _ [F#] the candles in the [F#m] window reach open We [C#] watch the flames duke it [B] out with every
gust [C#] And we're hoping that we must just burn [A] to
the bottom of the wick [C#] It's the bottom of the [B] fifth and that shit
is [C#] still burning We're still turning every cable when it's
needed Not laying there defeated, no
We [B] draw our foes back [C#] repeatedly then Off with the [A] arrows and the gods and the [C#] pharaohs
From the bottom of our [B] hearts we're from the bottom [F#m] of the barrel
Cause peril knows no [A] bound and terror won't slow down
[C#] But there's a whole [B] lowdown of beauty to [C#] be shown now
We broke ground and broke our backs stacking bricks
We never broke our [B] promises, you'll never know just [C#] half of it
We're adamant on [A] building every wall and stairs sturdy
[C#] And when our work is [B] done then we'll call [F#m] our shares worthy
In the land of milk and honey, [A] too shy to say we're thirsty
We [C#] just make a little [B] money and [F#m] we buy a little mercy
_ _ [A] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#m] There's no good [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] in the house _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#] that's [B] _ [F#m] not holy
_ [A] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ [F#] Now the candles in the [A] window reach open We [C#] watch the flames duke [B] it out with every
gust [F#] And we're hoping that we must just burn [A] to
the bottom of the wick [C#m] It's the bottom of the [B] fifth and that shit
is [F#m] still burning
If you welcome every stress loss and every tramp [C#] suggest
Give what they'll take [B] from you and every [F#m] theft's a gift
Hold too tight to [A] what's in your hands or in your chest
[C#] And the future will fall [B] noble, home readers [F#m] can't work this
Broken bones are stronger [A] for the breaking of the dangers [C#] independent
[B] Possessions that you never can [F#m] take back Curl you round a cane, you're [A] still intact
But not quite [G#] lame, better to grit your teeth, [B] ready to cast a letter [F#m] to God
We're always [A] first to come in, running, running, the [C#m] ground
We never do leave our incense, [F#m] the lost and found
We just make [A] a little money and we
[C#] We start that long walk into town where [F#m] we buy a little mercy _ _ _

[B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ [F#m] So no more talk about the past, [A] this time we fly [C#m] it back
Light a match and light the past up [F#m] before it catches up
We'll raise a [A] mast and cast off, yeah [G#] we'll break some legs
We'll [B] mend them and then we'll take [F#m] the cast off
We've had our losses, [A] we've had our [C#] victories
We've sat across [B] from every victim of their [F#m] misery
That pounding in our [A] chest was just a symptom of our sin
[C#m] And we lay ourselves to rest with both our [F#m] winnings and our injuries
We're so hungry, [A] we're so thirsty
[C#] I'm gonna [C#m] hunt until it hurts me, and it hurts [C#] me
And it's aching, it's aching, we're so thirsty
We're gonna make a little money [B] and we'll [F#m] buy a little mercy _
