[Intro ]D  C  G  D  C  G  D 

D 
Riding my life 
D 
Like a run-a-way train 
D                         C   G 
Moving from one track to that 
D 
Howling, crying 
D 
Screaming at the moon 
D        C              G 
Only my voice came back 
D        C              G 
Only the echo came back 
D 
When I was a boy 
D                       C  G 
Daddy told me Grow tall 
D 
Yes and, Billy, don't crawl" 
D 
Taught me how to ride 
D 
Set me out on my own 
D     C               G  D 
And I never came back 

D           C 
And yes I'd do it again 
G           D 
Oh wouldn't you 
D        C 
Yeah I'd do it again 
G             D 
A-huh oh yeah 
C 
Do it again 
G 
Baby 
D 
Wouldn't you? 

D         C     G 
Remember when I lied 
D             C      G 
Just when you needed me 
D         C          G 
Now I sit alone and cry 
C             G             D 
'Cause now I believe in mercy 
A               G 
Remember when I lied 
D                    G 
Just when you needed me 
C  G          D 
I believe in mercy 

D 
Riding walking 
D 
Looking so cool 
D 
Guess I crossed 
D             C     G 
Over the borderline 
D 
Treated like a dunce 
D 
Who just can't read 
D      C           G 
Did I fool me too? 

D           C 
And yes I'd do it again 
G           D 
Oh wouldn't you 
D        C 
Yeah I'd do it again 
G             D 
A-huh oh yeah 
C 
Do it again 
G 
Baby 
D 
Wouldn't you? 

D         C     G 
Remember when I lied 
D             C      G 
Just when you needed me 
D         C          G 
Now I sit alone and cry 
C             G             D 
'Cause now I believe in mercy 
A               G 
Remember when I lied 
D             A       G 
Now that you needed me 
C  G          D 
I believe in mercy 
G   C         G 
Yes I believe in mercy
