For Mercy chords by The Ballroom Thieves

• Tuning: Half-step down

This song is tuned a whole step down. He plays the B7 how I show below but you can either mute the last
string, play it open, use the second fret, or just don't strum it at all. Pretty sure he's not using the
last string though.

Verse 1:
G   B7  Em             G    B7  Em
          Darlin don't go
                        G         B7  Em
Don't leave me out here  on my own
           C                               C7
I'm in the space between the spaces and it ain't what I was made
G   B7  Em                         G    B7  Em
for,       I think by now I should know
         C                             C7
As if it made me more a man if I could stand the wasted gamble of our
G    B7 Em    G    B7 Em
days
         C
They say places to hunt just like places to hide, but getting harder to keep and still harder to find
         G       B7 Em     G    B7 Em      G    B7 Em     G    B7 Em
So don't leave me

Verse 2:
    C           G    B7 Em     G  B7  Em          G  B7  Em
I'm roaring for mercy,                   Or is it lenience
      C                   C7
Or to bury the moments we won't be the host
G   B7  Em           G             B7 Em
for,       carve our names in the sto-one
         C                       C7                         G    B7 Em    G    B7 Em
And then leave me believe in the faith I won't find on the, road
       C                        C
Now if I said I'd be the one to hold you in my arms and that I
C                                 C7                      G    B7 Em    G    B7 Em
never saw the day where you would leave me behind I'd be, lying

    C                                                 G    B7  C     G    B7 Em
And maybe we'd make this a brook too broad for leaping
   C                                                  G    B7 C      G    B7 C
Or maybe I've made myself too difficult to believe in
    C                                        G    B7 Em    G    B7 Em
And love has her ways, love has her terrible ways
