[Verse 1]
E
Pour mercy, mercy on me, set fire to history
F#m E
I’m breakin’ my own rules, I’m cryin’ like a fool
E
Tall stories on the page, short glories on the fade
F#m A E
I been close enough to touch, but I never cared for love

[Chorus]
B C#5 B5
It’s a church of burnt romances
A5 E
And I’m too far gone to pray
F#m G#m A B E
It’s a so lo song and it’s only for the brave

[Bridge]
F#m A
If the truth tell, darling, you fell
G# C#m C#m/B
Like there ain’t enough dying stars in your sky
A E B Bsus4 B
It’s a tall tale, and it’s only hello, hello, no goodby-ye

[Verse 2]
E
Pour mercy, mercy on me, I’ll fall upon my knees
F#m
And they’ll say, “I told you so
A E
Come on, when you know, you know”

[Chorus]
B C#5 B5 A5 E
All the lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave
F#m G#m A B E
It’s a so lo song and it’s only for the brave
