Em G Bm A 2x
[Verse]
Em G Bm
You've got a hold of me
A Em
Don't even know your power
G Bm
I stand a hundred feet
A
But I fall when I'm around you
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G Bm
Show me an open door
A Em
Then you go and slam it on me
G Bm
I can't take anymore
A
I'm saying baby
[Chorus]
Em G
Please have mercy on me
Bm A
Take it easy on my heart
Em G
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
Bm A
You keep tearing me apart
Em G
Would you please have mercy,
Bm A
mercy on my heart
Em G
Would you please have mercy,
Bm A
mercy on my heart
[Verse]
Em G Bm
I'd drive through the night
A Em
Just to be near you baby
G Bm
Heart old and testified
A
Tell me that I'm not crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G Bm
I'm not asking for a lot
A Em
Just that you're honest with me
G Bm
My pride is all I got
A
I'm saying baby
[Chorus]

Please have mercy on me
Bm A
Take it easy on my heart
Em G
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
Bm A
You keep tearing me apart
Em G
Would you please have mercy on me
Bm A
I'm a puppet on your string
Em G
And even though you got good intentions
Bm A
I need you to set me free
Em G
Would you please have mercy,
Bm A
mercy on my heart
Em G
Would you please have mercy,
Bm A
mercy on my heart

Em Bm
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
D A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
D A
I would gladly do it twice

D A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I would gladly do it twice

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart
