This tab of Song in E is pretty accurate to live versions Julien performed on guitar before the song
was actually released, but also sounds relatviely accurate to the piano version in the studio recorded song.
Enjoy! :)
NOTE: Fourth string is tuned up half a step so tuning is EADG#BE

[Verse 1]
I wish that I drank // because of you and not only because of me // and then I could blame
something painful enough // not to make me look any more weak// When you heard my name //
You could be angry and have a good reason to be

And then when I sang // A horrible drunken parade of my worst thoughts // I'd say, "give me no sympathy" //
Its the mercy I cant take

[Verse 2]
Oh, I wish you'd come over // Not to stay, just to tell me that I // Was your biggest mistake to my face

And then leave me alone // In an еmpty apartment, face down in the carpеt // I wish you'd hurt me //
It's the mercy I can't take
