Mmm, mmm, mmm.

(Em)Mmm, mmm, mmm.

(Em)You've got (G)a hold of me,

(Bm)don't even (A)know your power.

(Em)I stand (G)a hundred feet (Bm)but I fall when (A)I'm around you.

(Em)Show me (G)an open door,

(Bm)then you go and (A)slam it on me.

(Em)I can't (G)take anymore.

(Bm)I'm sayin' (A)baby, please have (Em)mercy on me.

(G)Take it (Bm)easy on my heart.

Would you please have mercy,

(G)mercy (Bm)on my heart.

(A)Would you please have mercy,

(G)mercy (Bm)on my heart.

(Em)Heart open, testify.

(Bm)Tell me that (A)I'm not crazy.

(Bm)just that you're (A)honest with me.

(Em)And my pride (G)is all I got.

(Bm)I'm sayin' (A)baby, please have (Em)mercy on (G)me.

Take it (Bm)easy on my heart.

Even though you don't (Em)mean to hurt (G)me,

Would you please have mercy,

(G)mercy (Bm)on my heart?

(A)Would you please have mercy,

(G)mercy (Bm)on my heart.

(D)Rippin' all the skin (A)from off my bones.
