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 G#m B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so long to learn
E A G#m F#m
the world is coming down around us while we wait our turn
E A G#m B C#m7
Now we're running out of road and hope will have you gone
[Verse]
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 G#m B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so long to learn
E A G#m F#m
the world is falling down around us while we wait our turn
E A G#m B F#m
Now we're running out of road and 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
[Outro]
C#m A E B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us so long to learn
C#m A E B
the world is coming down around us while we wait our turn
C#m A E B C#m
Now we're running out, still plain in doubt, still jumping from the windows of the world
A E B
Your tender mercies, they weren't enough, weren't enough
