Intro:  Esus4 - Esus4 - F#m7 - Bsus2


Verse 1:

Esus4
Late last night I awoke in a dream
       Bbm7                               F#m7          Bsus2
To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream, oh oh oh
     Esus4
From out of the city and out of the street
Bbm7                                F#m7         Bsus2
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete, oh oh oh


Pre-Chorus 1:

Asus2  E    Asus2  E    Asus2  E          Bsus2    
 It's  cold  out   side, dark  ness, your enemy
Asus2  E    Asus2  E    Asus2  E          F#m7
 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
F#m7
I will be delivered
    Bsus2               Esus4 - F#m7 - Bsus2
Someday I will be mercy bound


Verse 2:

  Esus4
I dreamed again it was West L.A.
      Bbm7                            F#m7        Bsus2
On a crowded street on a hot summer day, she was alone
Esus4
Three months late and beginning to show
       Bbm7                               
In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow
        F#m7                  Bsus2
She had no one to call and no way home


Pre-Chorus 2:

Asus2  E   Asus2  E    Asus2  E        Bsus2
 And   in   my    mind   I    knew I'd seen myself
Asus2  E   Asus2  E         Asus2   E          F#m7
 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
  F#m7
I was for once truly alone
Bsus2               E
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
                 E       F#m7   Bsus2
The silence all around me


Pre-Chorus 3:

Asus2  E   Asus2  E    Asus2  E           Bsus2
 And   when  I    wake   I    know you'll comfort me
Asus2  E  Asus2  E      Asus2    E   F#m7
 And   I   won't sleep again for an eternity


Chorus 3:

    Asus2 
But others lie awake at night
                       Bsus2
In desperation more profound
        F#m7
And the coming of the morning light
Bsus2                   E
Will not see them mercy bound
    Asus4            E/G#
And some will never dream again
     F#m7            Bsus2
From sleeping on the ground
     Asus2            
Just longing to belong
Bsus2             Asus2
Dying to be mercy bound
F#m7 
please don't stop your dreaming
    Bsus2                  Esus4    F#m7
Someday we'll all be mercy bound
    Bsus2     Esus4
Someday mercy bound
F#m7  Bsus2   E
oohhhhh, ohhhhhhh
