[Intro] Em A7 x2 [Verse]
Em
The day begins to blur

                    A7
Under this bruised light

Em
Within the beast still stirs

               A7
Am I unfit to guide?

Em
And now I'm weeping towards the sky

          A7
For what seeps back into the earth

       Em
Are we not supposed to love

            A7
In fear of losing someone?

       Em
Are we too afraid to feel

          A7
Too many wounds to heal?

          Em
Will they ever heal?

          A7
Will they ever heal?
[Chorus]
                         Em                       A7
Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no

                   Em                       A7
We don't need this pain and this suffering, no

Em                   A7    Em    A7
Just a little mercy, no
[Interlude]
Em   A7
No

Em   A7
No
[Verse]
Em
You cannot live the life

                A7
The life left behind you

    Em
You cry out loud with all your might

                A7
But no one will hear you

              Em
There will be desolation

         A7
We will throw ourselves into the fire

        Em
But the sooner love is gone

                  A7
The ghosts will begin to haunt

               Em
But I know the beauty lies

              A7
In the dawn's early light

         Em
Well, it gives and gives in healing waves

                 A7
But that's not enough

              A7
No, it's not enough
[Chorus]
                         Em                       A7
Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no

                   Em                       A7
We don't need this pain and this suffering, no

Em                   A7    Em    A7
Just a little mercy, no
[Outro]
Em  A7  Em  A7
No

Em                  A7
Just a little mercy

Em                  A7
Just a little mercy

Em                  A7
Just a little mercy
