MERCY ME – JOHNNY CRASHED
 
            
 
Sometimes it feels that you’re here but you’re just doing time                  D-G
While the world keeps taking a whole lot more than its share                   D-A
And the past is a noose that cuts off the breath to your heart                  D-G
And your smile is betrayed by eyes that are no longer kind                       D-A
 
And you swear that it’s good, it’s great, it’s all going well                           D-G
You’re living now in Heaven and you just came from hell                            D-A
And that handsome prince he’s no longer out chasing flies                       D-G
And that kind of truth hurts her more then all of the lies                             D-A
 
(chorus)
 
And when the road has left you with scars that won’t ever speak             G-D
And your heart is still weary from love that just couldn’t be                        A-D
When time has begun to fade like stains on your shirt                                 G-D
Oh, oh, oh, Mercy Me                                                                                           A-D

​So, try and pick up the pieces now my old friend 
Everyone needs to shed a skin now and then
Hold your head high without any shame
But when Saint Peter asks be fair and take some of the blame
