INTRO:  Bm   F#m


VERSE:
   Bm              F#m
It used to be that life was cheap
     Bm                  F#m
With bodies dropping all around
    Bm              F#m
But now I find good hearts are weak
    Bm                        F#m
And love lies bleeding on the ground
              Em
Why you wanna bruise our love


CHORUS:
G                  A 
Am I gonna make it easy for you
G                   A
Disappear without a trace of crying
G                     A                    Bm
All I ask is that you show a little mercy too
    F#m                 
Hey yeah, show a little mercy


Bm F#m


VERSE:
      Bm             F#m
We're victims of our lack of faith
      Bm                    F#m
Don't leap into the great unknown
  Bm                   F#m
Unless you know you've got the goods
    Bm                      F#m
Can stand it living on your own
              Em
Why you wanna bruise our love


CHORUS:
G                  A 
Am I gonna make it easy for you
G                   A
Disappear without a trace of crying
G                     A                Bm           
All I ask is that you show a little mercy


BRIDGE:
   G                  A                     G
We share the guilt of people in the name of love
      A                             G
First build them up then break them down


CHORUS:
G                  A 
Am I gonna make it easy for you
G                   A
Disappear without a trace of crying
G                     A                   
All I ask is that you show a little mercy


Bm   F#m
