Verse 1:
Gm
Give me mercy
Eb
and I need it now
I'm a bleed a
Bb
little poison out
I'm a cry a little
F
river down and then
I'm setting this
Gm
whole thing on fire
and I'm burning up
Eb
the night she died
and I'm putting every
Bb
last picture aside
I'm gonna say what
F
I need to say in my
very last letter to
Gm
you cuz you always
Eb
made it clear
said that you'd
Bb
never be my pain
So here's to you
F
when you cried baby
blues And just paused
Gm
a cool to refrain
And you said she
Eb
was satisfied
and this body's
Bb
just waiting to die
and I could listen
F
said its alright
its just a whole
Gm F Eb Gm Bb Eb Gm F Eb F
lot harder alone
Chorus:
Bb
But I I wish you
F
knew her now
she's a better
Gm
side of me now
and I'm doing
Eb
the best I can
its what you wanted
Bb
and I sing like you
F
were there and I knew
it was just how you
Gm
would smile Mary
Eb
you looked just like
Eb
it was 1930 that night
Verse 2:
Gm
But hear the days
they will eat you
Eb
alive but I won't
Bb
give in tonight
You said its not
F
worth my time
and not to record them
Bb/D
And not to settle
Eb
just a piece of mind but I
Bb
can wait it out all night
(hold)
Gm
But Mary I found a
Eb
sound and this heart keeps
Bb
pouring it out and the
glory has come but its
F
probably gonna fade like
the tattoo that hides
Gm
this shame and the
Eb
reasons always fade
and the pain gets
Bb
out some day and I'm
saying my goodbyes
F
deeply wise cuz I don't
Gm F Eb
know how to say
Gm Bb Eb
Stay still in the pain
Gm F Eb F
Stay still in the pain
(Repeat Chorus)
Bb F Eb
Outro:
Bb F
If I recall the last
Gm
thing you said to me
Bb F
before we broke up
before it took you
Eb
from me and you said
Bb F
I love you more than
Gm
the stars in the sky
Bb F
but your aliveness
Eb
just gets me tonight
Bb F
I love you more than
Gm
the stars in the sky
Bb F
but your aliveness
Eb Bb(hºld)
just gets me tonight
