Introduction:
Em C D G
Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (whisper in my ear)
Em C D G
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
Em C D G
And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
Em C B
But it would linger on for years
C B Em
It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers
C B Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
C B Em C
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
C B Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
C B Em C
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
C B Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
Em C D G
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Em C D G
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
Em C D G
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
Em C B
Mercy mercy me
C B Em
"We can't just blame it on our mothers
C B Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
C B Em C
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
C B Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
C B Em C
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
C B D
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
Em C D G
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Em C D G
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
Em C D G
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
Em C D
Mercy mercy me
Em C D G
That's all they came for, that's all they took
Em C D G
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
Em C D G
And when they realized we'd given all we could,
Em C B
that's when they finally understood
Em C D G
Mercy mercy mercy me
Em C D G
Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see
Em C D G
Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak
Em C D
Mercy mercy me
C B Em
We can't quite blame it on our mothers
C B Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
C B Em C
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
C B Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
C B Em C
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
C B Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
C D B Em
Watch it crash and there's nothing we can do, but watch it crash...
