Jewel – Mercy (Ukulele)

    G                    C  G
Simplicity does not come easy

      C           G          D
When you're dreaming of being someone else

    G                C     G
And grace you see is fleeting

     C            G       D
When you're bleeding your inner self

 C               G
Have mercy on me please

    C                 G  D
Have mercy, I'm on my knees

         C                 Em
I'm being broken again and again

                C              D
I'll keep being broken until I remain

     C
Open

  G
When you're locked away

        C      G          C      G
Fighting shadows, constant battles

    D
Trying to feel safe

             G            C       G
When your own armor starts killing you

  C                G       D
Cause it's causing you to sink beneath it's weight

        C                 G
Call for mercy, won't you please

         C                G      D
Call for mercy, get on your knees

            C                  Em
You're being broken, again and again

                  C                 D
You'll keep being broken, until you remain

    C
Open

             C
You feel the pain, give into it

    G
Cry 'til you crack, that's how the light gets in

         Am
Set your weapons on the ground

             C
Until you're naked and trembling now

             G                         D
And when you think you can't stand any more

     C                   G
Give mercy to someone in need

     C               G   D
Give mercy, don't you see

                   C                  Em
Life will break our hearts, again and again

                 C                 D
We'll keep being broken until we remain

    C
Open

          Em
Can't you see

       C           Em
I have broken wide open

               C            Em
Let yourself be broken wide open

       C
I have broken open
