[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F G C When all your good days keep getting shorter, count on me. F G C When you're 'bout 20 cents shy of a quarter, count on me. G Dm When you just need a place to hide out for a while. G Dm F I'll help you hide the bodies in a little while.
[Chorus]
C F I will bring you buckets of mercy, C F And hold your hand when you're crossing the street. C F C F I'll bring a song if you want it.
[Verse 2]
F G C And if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, count on me. F G C If you're feeling that freight train running through your head, count on me. G Dm If you just need a friend to talk to, G Dm F Or maybe not talk at all.
[Chorus]
C F I will bring you buckets of mercy, C F And put a smile back on your pretty face. C F I'll bring a shovel if you want it. C F Carry your secrets to the grave.
[Bridge]
G - A - F (X2)
G A F Dm When you're down and out, I'll pick you up down at the station. F Put your hard times on vacation. G F And get you headed on your way.
[Chorus]
C F I will bring you buckets of mercy, C F And hold your hand when you're crossing the street. C F Pay your bail if you need it. C F I will be your saving grace.
[Outro]
C F I will be your saving grace. C F I will be your saving grace.
