Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em]
[Asus4]

[Verse 1]
Late [D]last
night I awoke in a dream
To [Am]the sound of a voice that was [G]almost a scream,
[Em]oh o[D]h oh[Asus4]
From [D]out of the city and out of the street
Out [Am]where the wind hits the cold con[G]crete,
[Em]oh o[Asus4]h oh[G]
It's [D]cold [G]outsid[D]e, dar[G]kness,[D]
your [Asus4]enemy[D]
[Asus4]No place [G]to hid[D]e,[G][D]
[G]the voi[D]ce said thi[Em]s to me
In your door[G]ways I have shivered
In your alleys I have gone to [A]ground[Asus4][A]
I [Em]will be delivered
[A]Someday I will be [D]mer[A]cy
[D]bound[Em][G][D][Asus4]
I [D]dreamed again it was West LA
[Am]On a crowded street on a hot [G]summer day,
[Em]she was alon[Asus4]e[D]
Three months late and beginning
to show
In a mid[Am]riff blouse
she would soon outgrow
[G]She had no [Em]one to call
and no [Asus4]way home[A][G]
And [D]in [G]my min[D]d I k[G]new[D]
[G]I'd [Asus4]seen myse[G]lf
But [D]in [G]our bli[D]ndness,
[G]always see[D]ms like som[Em]eone else
[G]There I was a rag a bone
A remnant in your lost and [A]found
I was [Em]for once truly alone
[A]Longing [D]to be mercy bound
And [Bb]I knew that I
would wander as a child
In the forest 'til [C]they found me
And I called [Bb]out to them but
I could not penetrate
The silence all [D]around [Asus4]me[A][G]
And [D]when [G]I wake I kno[D]w
you'll [A]comfort [Asus4]me[G]
And [D]I w[G]on't slee[D]p agai[G]n for
[D]an [Em]etern[D] it[Em]y
But [G]others lie awake at night
In desperation more pro
[Asus4]found[A]
And the com[Em]ing of the morning light
[Asus4]Will not see [D]them mercy bound
And [G]some will never [D]dream
again
[Em]From sleeping on the [Asus4]ground
[A]Just lon[Em]ging to belong
[A]Dying [D]to be [A]mercy [G]bound
[Em]Please don't stop your dreaming
[A]Someday we'll [D]all be mercy
[Em]bound
[Asus4]Someday m[A]erc[Asus4]y bound
