[Verse 1] G You've got a hold on me D Don't even know your power Em I stand a hundred feet C But I fall when I'm around ya G [Pre-Chorus 1] D Show me an open door Em And you go and slam it on me C I can't take anymore I'm saying... [Chorus 1]
G Baby, please have mercy on me D Take it easy on my heart Em Even though you don't mean to hurt me C You keep tearing me apart G D Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? Em C Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? [Verse 2] G I drive through the night D Just to be near you, baby Em Heart open, testify C Tell me that I'm not crazy [Pre-Chorus 2] G I'm not asking for a lot D Just that you're honest with me Em And my pride is all I got
C I'm saying... [Chorus 2] G Baby, please have mercy on me D Take it easy on my heart Em Even though you don't mean to hurt me C You keep tearing me apart G Won't you please have mercy on me? D I'm a puppet on your strings Em And even though you got good intentions C I need you to set me free G D Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? Em C Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? [Bridge] G Consuming all the air inside my lungs D Ripping all the skin from off my bones Em I'm prepared to sacrifice my life C I would gladly do it twice G Consuming all the air inside my lungs D Ripping all the skin from off my bones Em I'm prepared to sacrifice my life C I would gladly do it twice [Chorus 3] G Oh, please have mercy on me D Take it easy on my heart Em Even though you don't mean to hurt me
C You keep tearing me apart G Won't you please have mercy on me? D I'm a puppet on your string Em And even though you got good intentions C I need you to set me free [Outro] G I'm begging you for mercy, mercy D Begging you, begging you, please, baby Em I'm begging you for mercy, mercy C Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you
