[Intro]
Em G Bm A (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em          G
  You've got a hold of me
Bm             A
  Don't even know your power
Em       G
  I stand a hundred feet
Bm                A
  But I fall when I'm around you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em       G
  Show me an open door
Bm                  A
  Then you go and slam it on me
Em      G
 I can't take anymore
Bm           A
 I'm saying baby
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em         G
Please have mercy on me
        Bm          A
Take it easy on my heart
                       Em             G
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
          Bm          A
You keep tearing me apart
                     Em     G     Bm      A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
                     Em     G     Bm      A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em      G
 I'd drive through the night
Bm           A
 Just to be near you baby
Em        G
 Heart open, testify
Bm            A
 Tell me that I'm not crazy
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em             G
 I'm not asking for a lot
Bm                 A
 Just that you're honest with me
Em       G
 My pride is all I got
Bm           A
 I'm saying baby
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em         G
Please have mercy on me
        Bm          A
Take it easy on my heart
                       Em             G
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
          Bm          A
You keep tearing me apart
                       Em         G
Would you please have mercy on me
       Bm               A
I'm a puppet on your string
                         Em              G
And even though you got good intentions
       Bm             A
I need you to set me free
                     Em     G     Bm      A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
                     Em     G     Bm      A
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
 
 
[Bridge]
    G              Bm7
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
 D                A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
G                Bm7
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
          D            A
I would gladly do it twice
    Em              Bm7
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
 D                A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
Em                Bm7
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
          D            A
I would gladly do it twice

You keep tearing me apart
                       Em         G
Would you please have mercy on me

Lyrics
You’ve got a hold of me
Don’t even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I’m around you
Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can’t take anymore
I’m saying baby
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don’t mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
I’d drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I’m not crazy
I’m not asking for a lot
Just that you’re honest with me
My pride is all I got
I’m saying baby
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don’t mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I’m a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I’m prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I’m prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don’t mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I’m a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I’m begging you for mercy, mercy
Begging you, begging you, please, baby
I’m begging you for mercy, mercy
Ooh, I’m begging you, I’m begging you
