G                    C  G
Simplicity does not come easy
      C           G          D
When you're dreaming of being someone else
    G                C     G
And grace you see is fleeting
     C            G       D
When you're bleeding your inner self


[Chorus]
 C               G
Have mercy on me please
    C                 G  D
Have mercy, I'm on my knees
         C                 Em
I'm being broken again and again
                C              D
I'll keep being broken until I remain
     C
Open


[Verse 2]
  G
When you're locked away
        C      G          C      G
Fighting shadows, constant battles
    D
Trying to feel safe
             G            C       G
When your own armor starts killing you
  C                G       D
Cause it's causing you to sink beneath it's weight


[Chorus]
        C                 G
Call for mercy, won't you please
         C                G      D
Call for mercy, get on your knees
            C                  Em
You're being broken, again and again
                  C                 D
You'll keep being broken, until you remain
    C
Open


[Verse 3]
             C
You feel the pain, give into it
    G
Cry 'til you crack, that's how the light gets in
         Am
Set your weapons on the ground
             C
Until you're naked and trembling now
             G                         D
And when you think you can't stand any more


[Chorus]
     C                   G
Give mercy to someone in need
     C               G   D
Give mercy, don't you see
                   C                  Em
Life will break our hearts, again and again
                 C                 D
We'll keep being broken until we remain
    C
Open


[Outro]
          Em
Can't you see
       C           Em
I have broken wide open
               C            Em
Let yourself be broken wide open
       C
I have broken open
