[Verse 1]
 
Em           C                 D                G D/F#
Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear
Em        C          D                 G D/F#
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
Em            C               D               G D/F#
And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
Em           C               B7
But it would linger on for years
 
            C          B7              Em
It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers
       C              B7              Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
          C                  B7            G       D/F#     Em
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
            C              B7              Em             D
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
           C                 B7            G        D/F#    Em
And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
            C              B7              Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em        C      D     G D/F#
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Em              C          D              G D/F#
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
Em                   C                      D                     G  D/F#
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
Em     C   B7
Mercy mercy me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em              C          D                 G  D/F#
That's all they came for, that's all they took
Em            C            D                 G  D/F#
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
Em             C            D                G  D/F#
And when they realized we'd given all we could,
Em               C            B7
that's when they finally understood
 
 
[Refrain]
 
        C          B7              Em
That We can't just blame it on our mothers
       C              B7              Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong
          C                  B7            G      D/F#       Em
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
            C              B7              Em             D
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
           C                 B7            G     D/F#        Em
And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
            C              B7              Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em    C     D     G  D/F#
Mercy mercy mercy me
Em             C           D                  G D/F#
Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see
Em             C                     D            G D/F#
Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak
Em    C     B7
Mercy mercy me
 
 
[Refrain]
 
   C          B7              Em
We can't just blame it on our mothers
       C              B7              Em
Claim everything they did was always wrong
          C                  B7            G     D/F#      Em
And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track
            C              B7              Em             D
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
           C                 B7            G     D/F#        Em
And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
            C              B7              Em
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
         Am                 C              B7
Watch it crash. And there's nothing we can do but watch it... Crash
 
 
Outro is Almost identical to the Intro.
 
The very last chord is some variation of an Em chord, I haven't figured out exactly what
it is though.

e|-x-----------------------| B|-x-----------------------| G|-0-----------------------| D|-0-----------------------| A|-0-----------------------| E|-2-----------------------| I think he plays this in transition between each G and Em. Not positive but it kinda sounds like it.

Great tab! Last chord seems to be an Em6: e|-0-- B|-2-- G|-0-- D|-2-- A|-2-- E|-0--
