NEEDTOBREATHE – Mercys Shore (Guitar)

C
  My arms are tired and weary

C                     G      F
  These wounds are on full display

C                  F          C
  I've tried every door in the hallway

Am                G          F      C
   There's just nowhere that I feel safe

C
  I see the light but never find the surface

C                       G      F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more

C
  White knuckles and wild horses

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

[Post-Chorus]
C
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

    F      Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

C     F       C
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

C
 I'm lost in the waves that crush me

C                           G       F
 They bring discovery where darkness hides

C 
 Just over the ridge in front of you

Am         G                    F       C
   Another mountain that you'll have to climb

C
  I see the light but never find the surface

C                       G       F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more

C                   F
  White knuckles and wild horses

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

[Post-Chorus]
C     F     C
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh

   F     Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh

G     F       C
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Am                      G/B
   We're a child in the car asleep

C                    F
  In the driveway at night

Am                    G/B
   Our mother's gonna slowly sneak

C          F
  Our body inside

Am                    G/B
   We can rest in the arms of trust

C                            F
  There's no way that we can say

Am                  G/B
   We've earned our way into light

       C                F    Fsus4 F
All we have to do to is stay

C
  I see the light but never find the surface

C                       G      F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more

C
  White knuckles and wild horses

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

[Post-Chorus]
C     F     C
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh

         Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh

G     F       C
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

C     F     C
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

G     F       C
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Fm                      C
   I've been battling a broken heart

Fm                     C
   Everybody knows I'm torn apart

C                         D
  Since I was eight years old and I thought that

Dm        C
God was a girl in my school huh

Fm                        C
   If we can wind up on a sandy beach

Fm                         C
   Breathin' air that only death can reach

F                             Fm
  And singing songs that only heaven leaves

      C        D
It's okay with me

Fm                          C
   And God is wanting us to make believe

Fm                          C
   But knowing something is only a dream

    F                        Fm
Like   the absolutes and the in-between

    C                D                     Dm
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind

           C                                          N.C.
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
