Mercy's Shore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
My arms are [C]tired and weary
These wounds are on [G]full dis[C]play
I've tried every [F]door in the [C]hallway
There's [F]just no [G]where that [F]I feel s[C]afe

[Verse 2]
I see the light but never [C]find the surface
I don't know if I [G]can swim no [C]more
White knuckles and wild horses
[Am]One day, we'll wash [G]up on
[F]mercy's [C]shore
[Am]One day, we'll wash [G]up[C]
on [F]mercy's [C]shore

[Verse 3]
[C]
Ooh, [F]oo [Am]h[G][C]
Ooh, [F]ooh
[C]

[Verse 4]
I'm lost in the waves that crush me
They bring discovery where
[G]darkness [F]hides[C]
Just over the ridge in front of you
[Am]Another moun[G]tain that you'll
[F]have [C]to climb

[Verse 5]
I see the light but never [C]find the surface
I don't know if I [G]can swim no [F]more
[C]White knuckles and wil[F]d hor[Am]ses
One day, we'll [G]wash up
on [F]mercy's [C]shore
[Am]One day, we'll wash [G]up
on [F]mercy's [C]shore

[Verse 6]
[C]Oh, [F]oh- [C]whoa
[F]Oh- [Am]whoa[G],
[F]who[C]a

[Interlude 1]
[Fm][C][Fm][C][F][Fm][C][D]
[G][C][Am]

[Verse 7]
We're a child in [G]the car [C]asleep
In the driveway [F]at night
[Am]Our mother's gonna slowl[G]y snea[C]k
Our body [F]inside[Am]

[Verse 8]
We can rest in the [G]arms of trust
[C]There's no way that we
can [F]say[Am]
We've earned our [G]way into light
All we [C]have to do to is stay

[Verse 9]
[F]I s[C]ee the light but never find the surface
I don't know if I [G]can swim no [C]more
White knuckles and wild horses
[Am]One day, we'll wash [G]up
on [F]mercy's [C]shore
One day, we'll [G]wash up
on [F]mercy's [C]shore

[Verse 10]
[C]Oh, [F]oh- [C]whoa
Oh- [Am]whoa, [G]whoa
[F]Oh, [C]oh- who[F]a[C]
[F]Oh- whoa,[C][Am]
[G]who[F]a
[C]

[Verse 11]
I've been battlin' a broken
[Fm]heart
Everybody knows I'm [C]torn apart
Since I was eight years old when I thought
That God [F]was [C]a girl in my school

[Verse 12]
If we can wind up on [C]a sandy beach
[Fm]Breathin' [C]air that only death
can reach
[F]And singin' songs that
[C]only Heaven leaves
It's okay with [D]me

[Verse 13]
[Fm]And God is wanti[C]n' us to make believe
[Fm]But knowin' some[C]thin'
is only a dream
[F]Like the abso[Am]lutes and
the [Fm]in- betweens
Are [C]out of line, sometimes, intertwined
[C]Behind a mind, in lies, and fights
That only fools are still tryna fight
