 I'm saying baby
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
    G              Bm7
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
 D                   A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
G                Bm7
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
        D            A
I would gladly do it twice
    Em              Bm7
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
 D                   A
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
Em                Bm7
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
        D            A
I would gladly do it twice

I'm a puppet on your string
                         Em             G
And even though you got good intentions
       Bm             A
I need you to set me free
                   Em     G
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
