House Of Mercy Chords

[Verse 1]
Dm                   C           Dm
In the middle of the night again
                    C           G
Still water and the birds don't sing
Dm              C                 Dm
Cold gin in the back room humming
                   C              G
Medicating for the trouble that's coming
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                  C                Dm
Walls rattle like a diesel freighter
                   C  G
Blood races like a wave
Dm                C                   Dm
This house wasn't meant for strangers
                      C  G
But you come knocking anyway
 
[Chorus]
Dm                             C
I can hear you knocking on the door
Dm                            C  G
I won't leave it open for you anymore
Dm                             C
I can hear you knocking on the door
Dm                          C        G
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
 
Dm         C   F
 
[Bridge]
G                           F   G
Don't try to change my mind
G                              Dm  C G/B  Asus4
That knock gets louder all the time
G                         F   G
Don't try to wear me down
G                            Dm C G/B Asus4
You'll never get inside this house
 
[Verse 3]
Dm              C                    Dm
Underneath that shirt you're wearing
                       C        G
Strained muscles and a heart of stone
Dm                     C              Dm
Double crossin' like a wild chameleon
                       C  G
You make me want to be alone
 
[Chorus]
Dm                             C
I can hear you knocking on the door
Dm                            C  G
I won't leave it open for you anymore
Dm                             C
I can hear you knocking on the door
Dm                          C        G      Dm
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
 
Dm         C   F
 
[Bridge]
G                           F    G
Don't try to change my mind
G                               Dm  C G/B  Asus4
That knock gets louder all the time
Bb
Don't try to wear me down
C                            Dm  C G/B G
You'll never get inside this house
 
[Chorus]
Dm                             C

I won't leave it open for you anymore
Dm                             C
I can hear you knocking on the door
Dm                          C        G
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
