Mercy

[Verse 1] (slow, dramatic)
C
Mercy
G                                             Am
Why you gotta show up looking so good just to hurt me
G                                            F
Why you gotta stop this whole damn world from turning
G         C
Mmm  Oh mercy
G                                            Am
Why you're hanging on so tight if this ain't working
G                                           F
Why you wanna stop this flame if it's still burning
                 G
Cause it's still burning

[Chorus] (faster, reggae rhythm)
    Am                      F               C    G
So if you're gonna break my heart just break it
     Am                       F             C        G
And if you're gonna take your shot then take it, take it
    Am                  F             C        G
And if you made up your mind then make it, make this fast
F   F           G          G
    If you ever loved me


[Verse 2]
      C
Have mercy,
G                                       Am
If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely
G                                F
Wind up home alone please don't call me
            G
And say you miss me, no

[Chorus]
    Am                      F               C    G
So if you're gonna break my heart just break it
     Am                       F             C        G
And if you're gonna take your shot then take it, take it
    Am                  F             C        G
And if you made up your mind then make it, make this fast
F   F           G          G
    If you ever loved me

[Bridge]
     Am        F
Have mercy, woah
     Am     F
Have mercy

[Chorus] (slower, dramatic, then speed up/reggae feel at 'take it')
   Am                       F               C    G
So if you're gonna break my heart just break it
    Am                        F             C        G
And if you're gonna take your shot then take it, take it
    Am                  F             C         G     F
And if you made up your mind then make it,  Make this fast
F            G         G
If you ever loved me
F  F           G         G
   If you ever loved me
