V1: (repeat intro riff)
Bb F In all my life, Mercy Bb F A Bb Hasn't known my name this well/ Like how every sea filters out Bb F And leads us gently to a creek/ We sit around Dm C Bb Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
Chorus 1:
F Bb So let us down/ But if you must F Let us down easy… lord Bb F Let us down easy….lord Bb F Oooo Let us down
V2:
Bb F In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke/ Bb F It comes rising off the hillside slopes A Bb Down here in this neighbourhood/ It's just the dumps
With cars iced up, perfect/ for writing
F on if/ You're wearing gloves Dm Every season I spend alone/ C Bb Feels like a thousand to my heart and in my soul
Chorus 2:
Bb F Bb So let me down if you must/ But let us down/ F Bb F Easy lord…oh, Let us down easy Lord Bb F Oooo Let us down!
Bridge:
F Bb Let us down/Let us down/Let Us Down (x2)
Interlude: F Bb (x2)
V3: (Chords the same, essentially)
Instead of praying I tell god/ these jokes he must
Be tired of himself so much he must be more/ Than disappointed Christmas
comes we eat alone/ A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who
Takes your order she yells/ it and cries alone in/
The backroom once in a while until it stops/ Then she smiles
Chorus 3:
So let her down easy if you must/ But let her down easy
Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
And go it alone/ So let us down easy if you must
But let us down easy, Lord/Let us down easy lord,
Outro:
F Bb (Let us down/ Let us down/Let us down, Easy) (x a ton of times)
End on F
