Well, [A] I have lived ten years, plus ten and ten and ten again.
[D] I have seen too much to pretend, [E] then you wanted to come in.
[A] I have survived all of the lies that made me wise, the locks and walls and the peace it buys.
Still when I look [E] into your eyes, it's a surprise when you [A] say,
You're alright, _ you're okay, just [D] hold on [A] tight, then [E] you'll go away. _
[A] You're alright, you're okay, just hold on tight, then [E] you'll go away.
Well, I [A] feel mercy, mercy, baby, I do not know what this all means.
[D] It's been a while since I've been styling [E] in just my jacket and my jeans.
[A] It hurts to walk, it hurts to talk, it hurts to think about it, shout about [D] it.
Could I be sure without a doubt [E] that you could never live without me?
[A] _ _ _ _ Oh, mercy, baby, what do you want from me?
[E] _ _
Oh, [A] _ _ _ mercy, mercy, baby, _ [D] what do you want from me?
I [E] _ want [F#m] to follow you, call on [D] you, surrender all [A] in you now.
_ [E] _ _
Could [F#m] I be sure in you, cure in [D] you, find and cure in [A] you?
Now I plead, [E] have mercy on me.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Kneeling at the altar in the temple of your eyes, and I am asking for a miracle.
[E] I have been too long paralyzed when you [A] say,
Get up and stand up and climb the rope of hope and open up again.
All the peace you say has promised me [E] seems too much to comprehend. _ _ _
_ Oh, mercy, baby, [A] _ what can this girl [E] believe?
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ Oh, mercy, _ [B] what do you want [E] from me?
_ What do you [A] want from me? _
_ _ _ Mercy, baby, mercy, [E] baby, _ _ _ [A] mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, baby.
So hold on tight and then [E] run away.
So I'll [A] be right back, so please welcome home.
So come on to me, come [E] on to me, _ mercy, baby. _
