[E]
I [D] don't know why I stole [A] the money, [D] just seemed like a good [A] idea at the time.
[E] Lays a work for [F#m] didn't need it, [D] at least that's how I worked it out in [E] my mind.
[A] I [D] grabbed the bag beneath [A] the counter, [D]
crossed [F#m] the railroad [A] tracks and fled.
[E] They should have [F#m] called the sheriff, [G#]
[D] but they just called you [E] instead.
[D] [A] It [D] was a gift [A] of mercy, [E]
[F#m] like nothing I [B] deserved.
[D] And [A]
if I ever get to heaven, it'll [E] be mercy, not justice [A] that's served.
[D]
[A]
Sometimes [D] I wonder how [A] you stand me, [D] with all my treachery [A] and doubt.
[E] I've broken windows [F#] just for meanness, [G#] [D] broken hearts for an easy [E] way out.
I [A] pawned [D] your login to pay [A] a phone bill, [D]
swore to [A] you I'd get it back.
[E] That was a year ago, [F#m] December, [G#] you [D] still ain't said nothing [E]
about that.
[D]
Oh, the [A] gift of mercy,
[E] [F#m] it's more than I [D] deserve.
[A]
And if I ever get to heaven, it'll [E] be mercy, not justice [A] that's served.
[E]
[F#m] Love is like [D] a candle blazing [A] in the wind, it [E] don't give in.
[F#] And you've been burning for [D] me so long, don't think I [A] haven't noticed how [E] hard it's been.
[A]
So if [D] you're thinking [A] of leaving,
[D] I wouldn't blame you [A] in the least.
[E] There ain't no rule you have [F#] to follow, [A] [D] no shining star up in [E] the east.
[A] But if you [D] still believe [A] in miracles, [D]
I'm trying to turn my life around.
[E] Don't give up on me, [F#m] darling,
[A] all sinners still can [E] be found.
Oh, the gift of [A] mercy, [E] it [F#m] ain't nothing [C#m] I [E] deserve.
[D]
[A] But if I'm still holding you tomorrow, it'll [E] be mercy, not justice that's served.
[D] [A] If you're still loving me tomorrow, [E] it'll be mercy, not justice [A] that's served.
