[Verse 1]
E A
Mercy don't think she's pretty no more
Bm A
Starin' at the stars through her back screen door
E A
She tries and tries to make it all work out
Bm
No matter what she does
A
She's left standin' in the middle of doubt
[Pre-chorus]
A A/G# B
In a lonely night
A A/G# B G D/F# A
And in the pourin' rain
A
You can count on me
[Chorus]
E A
Sometimes she cries
B A
When she's alone at night
E A
Sometimes she weeps
B A
When she's feelin' cold and weak
E A
Sometimes the pain
B A
It just tears her up inside
E A
Sometimes she cries
B A
Ooh, I wonder why
[Verse 2]
E A
Mercy don't have a lover no more
Bm
She plays with her pillow
A
Stares at the bedroom floor
E
Used to have a million
A
They've come and gone
Bm
No matter what she does
A
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
A A/G# B
In a lonely night
A A/G# B G D/F# A
And in the pourin' rain
A
You can count on me
[Chorus]
E A B
Sometimes she cries
A
When she's alone at night
E A B
Sometimes she weeps
A
When she's feelin' cold and weak
E A B
Sometimes the pain
A
Oh, it tears her up inside
E A B
Sometimes she cries
Ooh yeah
[Bridge]
D A B A
Livin', lovin', giving everything you got
D
After all the heartache
A B
Maybe give love just one more shot away
[Pre-chorus]
A A/G# B
In a lonely night
A A/G# B G D/F# A
And in the pourin' rain
A
The only thing I really wanna know is why
[Chorus]
E A B
Sometimes she cries
A
When she's alone at night
E A B
Sometimes she weeps
A
When she's feelin' cold and weak
E A B
Sometimes the pain
A
Oh, it tears her up inside
E A B
Sometimes she cries
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
