[Intro]
C G (x2)
 
C
Mercy
G                                G/B          Am
Why you gotta show up looking so good just to hurt me
G                                              F
Why you wanna stop this whole damn world from turning
C
Mercy
G                                   G/B   Am
Why you hanging on so tight if this ain’t working
G                                            F
Why you wanna stop this flame if it’s still burning 
                  G
’Cause it's still burning.
 
[Chorus]
   Am                        F               C   G
So if you're gonna break my heart, just break it
    Am                        F               C        G
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it, take it
Am                  F               C        G     F
If you made up your mind, then make it, make this fast
                 G
If you ever loved me
 
     C
Have mercy
G                                   G/B  Am
If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely
G                                  F
Wind up home alone, please don't call me
             G
And say you miss me, no
 
[Chorus]
Am                         F                C  G
If you're gonna break my  heart, just break it
    Am                         F          C          G
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it, take it
Am                   F              C          G   F
If you made up your mind, then make it, make this fast
           G
if you ever loved me
 
[Bridge]
     Am     G    F
Have mercy, woah 
         Am   G  F
Oh have mercy
Am                        F                C   G
If you're gonna break my heart, just break it
Am                         F         C        G
If you're gonna take your shot, take it, take it
 
[Chorus]
    Am                        F                C   G
Oh, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it
    Am                         F              C        G
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it, take it
   Am                F          C            G     F
If you made up your mind, then make it, make this fast
            G             F           G
If you ever loved me, mmmh,if you ever loved me

At first I thought the chords were off, but then I realized my guitar was terribly out of tune. Great chords!! Love this song

Thanks. This song has been on repeat for a week or two now. I can't seem to get it out of my head.
