Town Of Mercy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I walked [Em]away from Mercy out
to [G]the deepest woods
[C]Entered by the [Csus4]river at the
[Cm]only place I [Fsus4]could
[F]Fed a fir[Em]e and watched the smoke
Like [G]something climbing free
[C]Leaning like a [Csus4]ladder and
[Cm]calling after [Fsus4]me

[Verse 2]
That I could [F]rise from what may [Bb]shine
Keep your [Gm]place, [Bb]surrender mine[A]
As if your [D]name as old as [G]time
[F]Waited like a song upon the[C] tongue
[Cm]Of all the mercy begging to be
sun[Em]g
[G][Csus4]

[Verse 3]
[C]
I've [Em]made my peace with Mercy
As [G]quick as it may be
[C]To be[Csus4]tray my confidence is
[Cm]how I [Fsus4]choose to se[Cm]e
[Em]What had come together now are
[G]pieces in my hand
[C]Fraying at the [Csus4]knees tha[Cm]t buckled
long before we stand

[Verse 4]
That I [F]could rise from what may [Bb]shine
Keep your [Gm]place, surrender [A]mine
As if your [D]name as old as [G]time
[Bb]Waited [F]like a song [Fsus4]upon the [Cm]tongue
Of all the mercy begging
to be [Em]sun [A]g

[Verse 5]
Begging to be sung
[Em]The[A]
[Em]snow[A]
[Em]flies,
its' confetti like [D]the end of a parade
[C]Leaves a vacant silence knee-
[A]deep in the charade
That [Em]here's the end of hunger,
[D]this feasting of the soul
[C]When all the while it's waited for
the night to swallow [A]whole

[Verse 6]
So I might [F]rise from what may [Bb]shine
Keep your [Gm]place, [Bb]surrender mine[A]
As if your [D]name as old [G]as time
[Bb]Waited like [Dm]a song upon the [Cm]tongue
Of all the mercy begging to be sun[Em]g[A]
