Part 1: Mercy
[Verse 1]
F
When the city sleeps, I'm awake
F G
Caught up in the dreams I can't create
F
When the city sleeps, I'm awake
F G
Locked up in my mind, I can't escape
F
There's nothing I can do but wait
F G
I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain
F
I can tell you don't get it
F G
'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay
[Bridge]
C Am
All I wanna do is cry
C F
That's all I wanna do
C Am
All I wanna do is cry
G
And bang my head
F
Until I start to fly
Am
Bang, bang, I start to fly
G
Bang, bang, I start to fly
[Verse 2]
F
Maybe, I'll just dye my hair
F G
To make me feel like I don't care
F
It'll be my war paint
F Am
'Cause Lord knows I need the strength, I need the strength
Am
Mondays might be alright
G
And Sundays will probably hurt
F
'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise
G
I don't hear a single word
[Bridge]
C Am
All I wanna do is cry
C F
That's all I wanna do
C Am
All I wanna do is cry
G
And bang my head
F
Until I start to fly
Am
Bang, bang, I start to fly
G
Bang, bang, I start to fly
Am
I watch the sky get brighter
Am
The lights get higher now
[Chorus]
C
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
F
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Am
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
G
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
C
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
F
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting

Hurting, hurting
Part 2: Gatekeeper
[Verse 1]
F Dm C
Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind
F Dm C
Blankets of wool just to cover up my eyes
Am G
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
Am G
And I know what I need, what I need is hiding
F Dm C
I'm just a face someone's passing on the street
F Dm C
Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees
Am G
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
Am G
And I know what I need, what I need is hiding
[Bridge]
C Em F
Talk to me, keep on, talk to me
Am
Oh, oh, oh
G
Oh, oh, oh
C Em F
Talk to me, keep on, talk to me
Am
Oh, oh, oh
G
Oh, oh, oh
[Interlude] [repeat above chords]
It's easier for me to stay quiet, not speak a word
For if I do, then the truth might emerge
They are my emotions to feel
Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed
I'll watch others live in loudness and I'll destroy the chaos in my way
I have the control
If I keep what's mine, I can have the purest soul
And live with content, free from fear
I choose my actions
I am the gatekeeper
[Chorus]
C
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
F
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Am
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
G
Hurting, hurting
C
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
F
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Am
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
G
Hurting, hurting
[Outro]
C
Don't let me die
Am C
With my soul in the air
F
Don't let me die
G C
When there's nobody here
