Verse 1
Db
Late last
night I awoke in a dream
Abm
Gb
To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream,
Ebm
Db
Absus4
oh oh oh
Db
From out of the city and out of the street
Abm
Gb
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete,
Ebm
Absus4
Gb
oh oh oh
Db

It's cold outside, darkness,
Absus4

your enemy

No place to hide,

Db
Ebm
the voice said this to me
Gb
In your doorways I have shivered
Ab

Ab
In your alleys I have gone to ground
Ebm
I will be delivered

Someday I will be mer cy

bound
Db
I dreamed again it was West LA
Abm
Gb
On a crowded street on a hot summer day,
Ebm
Absus4
Db
she was alone
Three months late and beginning
to show
Abm
In a midriff blouse
she would soon outgrow
Gb
Ebm
She had no one to call
Absus4
Ab
Gb
and no way home
Db
Gb
Db
Gb
Db
And in my mind I knew
Gb
Absus4
Gb
I'd seen myself
Db
Gb
Db
But in our blindness,
Gb
Db
Ebm
always seems like someone else
Gb
There I was a rag a bone
Ab
A remnant in your lost and found
Ebm
I was for once truly alone
Ab
Db
Longing to be mercy bound
A
And I knew that I
would wander as a child
B
In the forest 'til they found me
A
And I called out to them but
I could not penetrate
Db
Absus4
Ab
Gb
The silence all around me
Db
Gb
Db
And when I wake I know
Ab
Absus4
Gb
you'll comfort me
Db
Gb
Db
Gb
And I won't sleep again for
Db

Ebm
an etern ity
Gb
But others lie awake at night
In desperation more pro
Absus4
Ab
found
Ebm
And the coming of the morning light
Absus4
Db
Will not see them mercy bound
Gb
Db
And some will never dream
again
Ebm
Absus4
From sleeping on the ground
Ab
Ebm
Just longing to belong
Ab
Db
Ab
Gb
Dying to be mercy bound
Ebm
Please don't stop your dreaming
Ab
Db
Someday we'll all be mercy
Ebm
bound

Ab
Absus4
Someday mercy bound
