Have Mercy typically play in alternate tunings (such as open D or open F),
but this sounds very close for simple half-step-down tuning.
[Intro]
G#m E (x4)
[Verse 1]
G#m E
It was always you in the dress, in the blistering cold
G#m
Saying you can't go home
E
Why you can't go home
G#m E
Couldn't ever tell if it was your breath from the cold or the cigarette
G#m
But you can't go home
F#
Why can't you go home
[Chorus]
B C#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
You're never okay, you're never fine
G#m F#
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
And I would always call you mine
C#m
We fell in love, fell in love with the innocence
E
We were too young, too young, not aware of it
G#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
F#
And never tell me why
G#m F# E F#
And all we'd do is drive
[Verse 2]
G#m F#
I'm still a beast of burden
E
You're still a dream to me
F#
Yet I'm so uncertain I won't ever come to terms with everything
G#m
Does it run through your head?
F#
Does it keep you awake?
E
I got this batch of jokes and phrases
F#
And it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
B C#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
You're never okay, you're never fine
G#m F#
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
And I would always call you mine
C#m
We fell in love, fell in love with the innocence
E
We were too young, too young, not aware of it
G#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
F#
And never tell me why
[Bridge]
G#m
You've got someone new who loves you
D#m
A house and a bunch of kids
G#m
I never took the same route
F#
And it's all I think about
C#m
You've got someone new who loves you
D#m
A house and a bunch of kids
E
I never took the same route
F#
And it's all I think about
[Chorus]
B C#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
You're never okay, you're never fine
G#m F#
You used to call me late to pick you up
E
And I would always call you mine
C#m
We fell in love, fell in love with the innocence
E
We were too young, too young, not aware of it
G#m
You used to call me late to pick you up
F#
And never tell me why
G#m
And all we'd do is drive
[Outro]
G#m E (x2)
