[Intro]
 C

[Verse 1]
            C
Don't give up
       Am/G      F
I know you can see
C             Am/G                    F
All the world and the mess that we're making
            C
Can't give up
         Am/G     F
And hope God will intercede
        Fmaj7/D
Come on back

Imagine that
Fmaj7
We could get it together
C     Am/G
Stand up
          F
For what we need to be
        C            Am/G    F
cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child
           C
Can't lay down and
         Am/G             F
Wait for some miracle to change things
         Fmaj7/D             Fmaj7
So, lift up your eyes, lift up your heart

Singing


[Chorus]
C      Am/G         F
Mercy, will we overcome this?
C      Am/G           F
One by one, could we turn it around?
      C     Am/G       F
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
         Fmaj7/D                  C      Am/G
And I'll try to give you what you need


[Verse 2]
F              C       Am/G
Me and you and you and you
              F
Just want to be free yeah yeah
C       Am/G
But you see
F                                Fmaj7/D
All the world is just as we have made it
                      Fmaj7
And until we've got a new world

I got to say that
C             Am/G         F
Love is not a whisper or a weakness
    C        Am/G
No, love is strong
       F
Now we got to get it together, yeah
C           Am/G        F
Got to get, got to get, got to get
               Fmaj7/D    Fmaj7
Until there is no reason

To fight

[Chorus]
C      Am/G         F
Mercy, will we overcome this?
C      Am/G          F
One by one, could we turn it around?
      C     Am/G      F
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
     Fmaj7/D                      C      Am/G   F
And I'll try to give you what you need

[Bridge]
C Am/G F

    Fmaj7/D             Fmaj7
lift up your heart, lift up your mind

Singing

[Chorus]
C      Am/G        F
Mercy, will we overcome this?
          C    Am/G      F
Have we, gone too far to turn it around?
      C     Am/G      F
do we ask too much to be a little bit stronger?
Fmaj7/D             Fmaj7
I try to give you, I try to give you, Oh

[Chorus]
C      Am/G         F
Mercy, what will become of us?
C      Am/G          F
One by one, could we turn it around?
      C     Am/G      F
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
         Fmaj7/D      Fmaj7
I'll try to give you, I wanna give you what you
C Am/G F
need

   Fmaj7/D             Fmaj7
