D
In my eyes she can do no wrong
A
In her mind I'm a little child
Bm                                D G
She's the words in my favorite song
D
But to her I am juvenile

D
I'm the love she will never love
A
I'm the friend that she calls a friend
Bm
And if I'm not the careful crush
G                  D
I'll be one heart, one man and then

D
Mercy, Mercy have on me
A
Leave me broken but leave me be
Bm
Distance hurts a thousand miles
G
So stay where you are for a little while

D
And Mercy, Mercy sing my song
A
Lyrics always felt so wrong
Bm
Sell my soul to change the rhyme
G           D           G
Make you wanting and make you mine

D A Bm G

D
In her mind I'm a troubled soul
A
I've pretended and played it cool
Bm                               D
There's a place where I don't belong
G                D
And myself I have made a fool

D
Mercy, Mercy have on me
A
Leave me broken but leave me be
Bm
Distance hurts a thousand miles
D   G
So stay where you are for a little while

D
And Mercy, Mercy sing my song
A
Lyrics always felt so wrong
Bm
Sell my soul to change the rhyme
D        G
Make you wanting and make you mine

D
Mercy, Mercy have on me
A               D      A
Leave me broken but leave me be
Bm
Distance hurts a thousand miles
G                         D
So stay where you are for a little while

D
And Mercy, Mercy sing my song
A
Lyrics always felt so wrong
Bm
Sell my soul to change the rhyme
G
Make you wanting and make you mine
