Intro: Em 

Em 
Pour mercy, mercy on me 
Set fire to history 
Ab 
I'm breakin' my own rules 
    Em 
I'm cryin' like a fool 


Tall stories on the page 
Short glories on the fade 
       Ab 
I been close enough to touch 
      Em 
But I never cared for love 

       Cm               Bb 
It's a church of burnt romances 
           Ab           Em 
And I'm too far gone to pray 
            Ab 
It's a solo song 
              Em 
And it's only for the brave 

       Fm                    Ab 
If the truth tell, darling, you'd feel 
                 G7 
Like there ain't enough dying stars in  
       Cm 
Your sky 

Em          Ab 
    It's a tall tale 
         Em                         Bb 
And it's only hello, hello, no goodbye (goodbye) 

( Em  Bb ) 

   Em 
Pour mercy, mercy on me 
I'll fall upon my knees 
            Ab 
And they'll say: I told you so 
        Em 
Come on, when you know, you know 

        Cm             Bb 
All the lonely shadow dances 
         Ab            Em 
From the cradle to the grave 
             Ab 
It's a solo song 
             Bb       Em 
And it's only for the brave
