Let Us Down Easy
Intro E  
In Aall my lEife, Mercy

BBut the rest of us are Aweak
So let us dEown if you mustA  
Let us down eEasy lordA  
Let us down eEasy lordA  
Let us downE  
In paAtches of pink cElouds, Thick smoke
AIt comes rising off the hEillside slopes
Down here this nAeighbourhood
It's the dumps
With cars iced up, perfect
for writing on if
You're Ewearing gloves
C#mEvery season I spend alone
BFeels like a thousand to my Aheart and in my soul
So let me Edown if you must,A  
But let us down Eeasy lordA  
Let us down Eeasy lordA  
ooh let us downE  A  
 E/Ax2
E/A on third time go into verse
AInstead of praying I tell Egod these jokes 
Ahe must be tired of himEself so much 
he must be more than disapApointed Christmas comes
we eat alone a pretty girl surrounds some pretty tEhought who
C#mTakes your order she yells it and cries alone in
The Bbackroom once it sAtops then she smiles.
So let her Edown if you mustA  
But let us down eEasy, LordA
