Em      G    C
Em      G    C    Em

[Verse]
Em
Why does everybody hurt
             G/B             C                 Em
Every bitter sickening word, breaks my heart
Em
Why can't anybody hear
                 G/B                C                  G
When the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free

[Chorus]
       D/F#   Em      G/B
It's time for mercy
       Em     A7
It's time for mercy
      C      Em
Mercy me

[Verse]
Em
Every colour, every shade
                                G/B             C     Em
Everyone an angel made from the breath of god
Em
I'm your mother, I'm your son
             G/B                C                 G
I am not the other one that you love to hate

[Chorus]
       D/F#   Em      G/B
It's time for mercy
       Em     A7
It's time for mercy
       C
Pretty please

[Instrumental]
C    G/B    Em    G/B    A7    G    C        Em

[Verse]
Em
When the fires all burn down
               G/B               C              Em
When they open up the ground and put you in
Em
I'll lay flowers on your grave
         G/B               C             G
It's a little too late for sorry now

[Chorus]
       D/F#   Em      G/B
It's time for mercy
       Em     A7      G/B
It's time for mercy
       D/F#   Em      C      G    A7
It's time for mercy
      C
Mercy me
