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

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
