[Verse 1]

Bb              Fm7
 Have mercy on a fool like me
C                        Am7
 My eyes were open but I just couldn't see
G#                           Cm       Cm7     Cm G7        G  
 The way the world works without honesty, honest-ly, I was blind


[Verse 2]

Bb                       Fm7
 All my heroes have been laid to rest
C                        Am7 
 And all my idols I have come to possess
G#                              Cm        Cm7     Cm G7     G 
 And I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart, oh...


[Chorus 1]

Gm7                Am7
 Nothing here is certain
Dm          C             Bb 
 We chase a shadow of our own dream's design
F           G              Am7  G
 And wonder why it takes so  lo-ng
F           G                  Am 
 And wonder just where we went wrong
           Dm            C                Bb 
 We hold a candle in the wind to light our way


[Verse 3]

Bb                  Fm7       
 Go lightly in your judgement please
C                            Am7 
 I didn't know the world was filled with such greed
G#                        Cm         Cm7       Cm G7               G
 I'm only asking let your heart intercede, and I  know they still exist


[Verse 4]

Bb                                Fm7 
 They say you learn something new every day
C                          Am7 
 I want to learn to forget all this dismay
G#                           Cm         Cm7     Cm  G7          G 
 At finding out the way that some folks play, only they's gonna win...


[Chorus 2]

Gm7              Am7
 Nothing here is sacred
Dm          C                      Bb                   
 The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine
F            G                Am7   G
 And left us standing here stranded
F         G             Am 
 Our only hope's to abandon
               Dm                   C               Bb 
 These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long
Bb
 Have mercy, have mercy ...
