D-DU-UDU
Last  night I woke  alone with a whisper  in my ear  (whisper in my ear)
Recanting all  my aspirations  and my fears
And  when the sun  came up that voice  had disappeared
But  it would linger  on for years
 It said "We can't  just blame  it on our mothers
 Claim everything  they did  was always wrong"
 And there ain't  not turning back  when our train  is off its track
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash  (watch it crash)
 And there ain't  no right or wrong  when we know  it won't be long
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash
 x3
 So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying  for the death  of a man  I'll never meet
 Though everyone  will know  the truth they'll still  just make believe
Mercy mercy me
 "We can't  just blame  it on our mothers
 Claim everything  they did  was always wrong"
 And there ain't  not turning back  when our train  is off its track
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash  (watch it crash)
 And there ain't  no right or wrong  when we know  it won't be long
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash
 So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying  for the death  of a man  I'll never meet
 Though everyone  will know  the truth they'll still  just make believe
Mercy mercy me
That's  all they came  for,  that's all they took
That's  all we had  to offer, only  dirty looks
And  when they realized  we'd given  all we could,
that's  when they finally  understood
Mercy mercy mercy me
Haunted  by the memories  of things  we'll never see
Guilty  for the statements  that we'll never  get to speak
Mercy mercy me
We  can't quite blame  it on our mothers
 Claim everything  they did  was always wrong"
 And there ain't  not turning back  when our train  is off its track
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash
 And there ain't  no right or wrong  when we know  it won't be long
 And there's nothing  we can do  but watch it crash
 Watch it crash  and there's nothing  we can do,  but watch it crash...

[Em]Last night I [C]woke alone with a [D]whisper in my [G]ear (whisper in my ear)
[Em]Recanting [C]all my aspi[D]rations and my [G]fears
[Em]And when the [C]sun came up that [D]voice had disap[G]peared
[Em]But it would [C]linger on for [B]years

It said "We [C]can't just [B]blame it on our [Em]mothers
Claim every[C]thing they [B]did was always [Em]wrong"
And there [C]ain't not turning [B]back when our [Em]train is off its [C]track
And there's [C]nothing we can [B]do but watch it [Em]crash (watch it crash)
And there [C]ain't no right or [B]wrong when we [Em]know it won't be [C]long
And there's [C]nothing we can [B]do but watch it [Em]crash

[Em] [C] [D] [G]  x3

So [Em]mercy, [C]mercy, [D]mercy [G]me

Though [Em]everyone will [C]know the truth they'll [D]still just make [G]believe
[Em]Mercy [C]mercy [B]me

"We [C]can't just [B]blame it on our [Em]mothers
Claim every[C]thing they [B]did was always [Em]wrong"

And there's [C]nothing we can [B]do but watch it [D]crash

So [Em]mercy, [C]mercy, [D]mercy [G]me
