Tender Mercies

C#m          A
It came to nothing
E                    G#m
This longing, this long
C#m            A
Your tender mercies
E                             B
They weren't enough, weren't enough

[Chorus]
      E            A              
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so
  G#m        B
 long to learn
            E                A    
the world is coming down around us
           G#m         F#m
 while we wait our turn
             E              A     
Now we're running out of road and 
  G#m       B    C#m7
hope will have you gone

C#m
                 A
They'll try to warn ya
               E           G#m
It's a cruel world, a cruel world
C#m
                        A
They'll mislead and misinform you
            E              G#m
Don't you turn, don't you turn

[Chorus]
      E            A              
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so
  G#m        B
 long to learn
            E                A    
the world is falling down around 
           G#m         F#m
us while we wait our turn
             E              A     
Now we're running out of road and 
  G#m       B         F#m
hope will have you gone

[Bridge]
                 B
Beyond that light storm in the air
                F#m
I wonder if you'd hear it now
                  B
An endless storm come ringing 
through the air

      C#m             A           
Oh, what I said, it's taken us so 
   E        B
long to learn
            C#m              A    
the world is coming down around us
            E       B
 while we wait our turn
               C#m              A 
Now we're running out, still plain
             E                  B 
 in doubt, still jumping from the 
           C#m
windows of the world
        A                  E      
Your tender mercies, they weren't 
           B
enough, weren't enough
