F#
For every second you’ve been talking
D#m
I’ve been trying to count the lines around your face
F#                                                 D#m
Cause I don’t know if I’ll ever be this close again

                     F#
I feel like I’m just wasting time before you pull the trigger
         D#m
It’s the drawing of the line it’s
my ghost you’re going to give up
         F#
Got your made up mind it hurts to see you’re alright
D#m
When I’m not alright
C#
So if you’re calling it a night

Chorus:
B
Oh please have, have mercy
F#            C#                     B
Have mercy on me, you’re breaking my heart
(Oh please have, have mercy)
F#            C#                B
Have mercy on me, I’m falling apart
Have mercy, my heart

I felt you slip away so slowly
I lost my grip a little more each time we touched
I've got no hope I guess I'll never get it back again

Felt like I was just wasting time
Before you pulled the trigger
It's the drawing of the line
It's my ghost you're going to give up
Got your made up mind
It hurts to see you're alright
When I'm not alright
So if you're calling it a night

Chorus:
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, you're breaking my heart
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, I'm falling apart
And I just don't know how we got
So wrong, for so long
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, mercy my heart

           B
Somehow I can’t let go
                             F#       C#
But I know I’ve been holding on too long
           B
Somehow I can’t let go
                             F#       C#
But I know I’ve been holding on too long

Chorus:
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, you're breaking my heart
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, I'm falling apart
And I just don't know how we got
So wrong, for so long
Oh please have, have mercy
Have mercy on me, mercy my heart
Have mercy my heart
