Bb F
In all my life, Mercy
Bb F A Bb
Hasn't known my name this well/ Like how every sea filters out
Bb F
And leads us gently to a creek/ We sit around
Dm C Bb
Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
Chorus 1:
F Bb
So let us down/ But if you must
F
Let us down easy… lord
Bb F
Let us down easy….lord
Bb F
Oooo Let us down
V2:
Bb F
In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke/
Bb F
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
A Bb
Down here in this neighbourhood/ It's just the dumps
With cars iced up, perfect/ for writing
F
on if/ You're wearing gloves
Dm
Every season I spend alone/
C Bb
Feels like a thousand to my heart and in my soul
Chorus 2:
Bb F Bb
So let me down if you must/ But let us down/
F Bb F
Easy lord…oh, Let us down easy Lord
Bb F
Oooo Let us down!
Bridge:
F Bb
Let us down/Let us down/Let Us Down (x2)
Interlude: F Bb (x2)
V3: (Chords the same, essentially)
Instead of praying I tell god/ these jokes he must
Be tired of himself so much he must be more/ Than disappointed Christmas
comes we eat alone/ A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who
Takes your order she yells/ it and cries alone in/
The backroom once in a while until it stops/ Then she smiles
Chorus 3:
So let her down easy if you must/ But let her down easy
Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
And go it alone/ So let us down easy if you must
But let us down easy, Lord/Let us down easy lord,
Outro:
F Bb
(Let us down/ Let us down/Let us down, Easy) (x a ton of times)
End on F
