------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mercy Bound" by Edwin McCain From the album "Mercy Bound" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Esus Late last night I awoke in a dream Bbm7Gbm7Bsus2 To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream, oh oh oh Esus From out of the city and out of the street Bbm7Gbm7Bsus2 Out where the wind hits the cold concrete, oh oh oh
Pre-Chorus 1:
Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EBsus2 It's cold out side, dark ness, your enemy Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EGbm7 No place to hide, the voice said this to me
Chorus 1:
Asus2 In your doorways I have shivered Bsus2 In your alleys I have gone to ground Gbm7 I will be delivered Bsus2Esus - Gbm7 - Bsus2 Someday I will be mercy bound
Verse 2:
Esus I dreamed again it was West L.A. Bbm7Gbm7Bsus2 On a crowded street on a hot summer day, she was alone Esus Three months late and beginning to show Bbm7 In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow Gbm7Bsus2 She had no one to call and no way home
Pre-Chorus 2:
Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EBsus2 And in my mind I knew I'd seen myself Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EGbm7 But in our blindness, always seems like someone else
Chorus 2:
Asus2 There I was a rag a bone Bsus2 A remnant in your lost and found Gbm7 I was for once truly alone Bsus2E Longing to be mercy bound
Bridge:
C And I knew that I would wander as a child D In the forest 'til they found me C And I called out to them but I could not penetrate EGbm7Bsus2 The silence all around me
Pre-Chorus 3:
Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EBsus2 And when I wake I know you'll comfort me Asus2EAsus2EAsus2EGbm7 And I won't sleep again for an eternity
Chorus 3:
Asus2 But others lie awake at night Bsus2 In desperation more profound Gbm7 And the coming of the morning light Bsus2E Will not see them mercy bound AsusE/Ab And some will never dream again Gbm7Bsus2 From sleeping on the ground Asus2 Just longing to belong Bsus2Asus2 Dying to be mercy bound Gbm7 please don't stop your dreaming Bsus2EsusGbm7 Someday we'll all be mercy bound Bsus2Esus Someday mercy bound Gbm7Bsus2E oohhhhh, ohhhhhhh
