Verse 1
D 
Late last
night I awoke in a dream
Am 
G 
To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream,
Em 
D 
Asus4 
oh oh oh
D 
From out of the city and out of the street
Am 
G 
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete,
Em 
Asus4 
G 
oh oh oh
D 
G 
D 
G 
D 
It's cold outside, darkness,
Asus4 
D 
your enemy
Asus4 
G 
D 
G 
D 
No place to hide,
G 
D 
Em 
the voice said this to me
G 
In your doorways I have shivered
A 
Asus4 
A 
In your alleys I have gone to ground
Em 
I will be delivered
A 
D 
A 
Someday I will be mercy
D 
Em 
G 
D 
Asus4 
bound
D 
I dreamed again it was West LA
Am 
G 
On a crowded street on a hot summer day,
Em 
Asus4 
D 
she was alone
Three months late and beginning
to show
Am 
In a midriff blouse
she would soon outgrow
G 
Em 
She had no one to call
Asus4 
A 
G 
and no way home
D 
G 
D 
G 
D 
And in my mind I knew
G 
Asus4 
G 
I'd seen     myself
D 
G 
D 
But in our blindness,
G 
D 
Em 
always seems like someone else
G 
There I was a rag a bone
A 
A remnant in your lost and found
Em 
I was for once truly alone
A 
D 
Longing to be mercy bound
Bb 
And I knew that I
would wander as a child
C 
In the forest 'til they found me
Bb 
And I called out to them but
I could not penetrate
D 
Asus4 
A 
G 
The silence all around me
D 
G 
D 
And when I wake I know
A 
Asus4 
G 
you'll comfort me
D 
G 
D 
G 
And I  won't sleep again for
D 
Em 
D 
Em 
an eternity
G 
But others lie awake at night
In desperation more pro
Asus4 
A 
found
Em 
And the coming of the morning light
Asus4 
D 
Will     not see them mercy bound
G 
D 
And some will never dream
again
Em 
Asus4 
From sleeping on the ground
A 
Em 
Just longing to belong
A 
D 
A 
G 
Dying to be mercy bound
Em 
Please don't stop your dreaming
A 
D 
Someday we'll all be mercy
Em 
bound
Asus4 
A 
Asus4 
Someday mercy    bound
