Playing Mercy

Intro:
G | D | G A | Bm 
G | D | A  


G           D 
Explain the paranormal 
        G       A        Bm 
Or just tell me what you saw 
              G                D              A 
You're having dreams about the silhouettes you draw 
    Bm            A      G 
And you're still laying low 
G           D              G  A        Bm 
But you are hardly missing anything at all 
              G               A               Bm 
It's like the fear of missing out has met its match 
                   A 
When you're what's missing 

 
G          D                  G     A         Bm 
I spent my best years playing mercy with your ghost 
             G                  D             A 
You'll never beat me but you're getting really close 
           Bm       A     G 
And you're crushing up my pills 
       D      A 
I'm scared to swallow 
                     Bm            A         G 
(I slow the speed of sound, coming from your mouth) 
        D    A 
But I always choke 
        Bm     A 
And you beg to differ 


G            D 
 I matched my breath with your breath 
  G     A        Bm 
I do it just for fun 
              G 
You'd like to think I'm counting 
D             A 
Each and every one 
      Bm      A 
But I lost my focus 

 
G           D 
 You call my name 
       A            G 
With a tin can on a string 
                 D 
You can count on me 
    A 
But fuck, who's counting? 
G           D 
 You always said 
         A 
You'd be crying if you could 
G                D 
 I knew what you meant 
    A 
But I still wish you would (I still wish you would) 


G          D                  G     A         Bm 
I spent my best years playing mercy with your ghost 
             G                  D             A 
You'll never beat me but you're getting really close 
           Bm       A    G 
And you're crushing up my pills 
       D      A 
I'm scared to swallow 
                     Bm             A         G 
(I slow the speed of sound, coming from your mouth) 
        D    A 
But I always choke 
        Bm      A 
And you beg to differ 


Bm 
If I knew half the things you know 
G                           D 
I'd never shut the fuck up, oh 
                            A 
You only slept right in the cold 
                                Bm 
Shoot for the sky until someone goes 
                         G 
I wrote it down so I'd remember 
                                 D 
I need to write my thoughts down more 

                                  A 
But I can barely read my own damn writing 

                             Em 
I've always rathered reading you 
                             G 
I've always rathered reading yours 

 
G              D 
Begged them to burn your body 
     G      A     Bm 
They buried you instead 
         G                 D                     A 
Said you couldn't tell the difference when you're dead 

Outro: 
        G   D      A 
When I'm scared to swallow 
         G   D     A 
Where you go, I'll follow 

I'll follow
