[Intro]
Em G Bm A (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G
You've got a hold of me
Bm A
Don't even know your power
Em G
I stand a hundred feet
Bm A
But I fall when I'm around you
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
Show me an open door
Bm A
Then you go and slam it on me
Em G
I can't take anymore
Bm 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 Bm A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Em G Bm A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
[Verse 2]
Em G
I'd run through the night
Bm A
Just to be near you baby
Em G
Heart old and testified
Bm A
Tell me that I'm not crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
I'm not asking for a lot
Bm A
Just that you're honest with me
Em G
My pride is all I got
Bm 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 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 Bm A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Em G Bm A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

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

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

I need you to set me free
