(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (Dsus4) (A minor) (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 1
Late (G major)
last night I awoke in a dream
To the sound (D minor) of a voice that
was almost a scream (A minor)
Oh (G major) (Dsus4) oh oh (D major)
From (Dsus4) out of the (G major) city
and out of the street
Out (D minor) where the wind hits
the cold concrete (A minor)
Oh (G major) (Dsus4) oh oh (D major)

Verse 2
(C major)
It's (Csus2) cold (Dsus4) (G major) (C major) outside (G major) (C major)
Dark (G major) ness your (D major) enemy (C major)
No (D major) place (C major) to (D major) hide (C major)
The voice (G major) said (A minor) this to me
(G major) In your door (C major) ways I have shivered
In your alleys I have gone
to ground (Dsus4) (D major)
But (A minor) I will be delivered
Someday (G major) (D major) I will (Dsus4) be mercy
(G major) bound
Interlude 1
(G major) (A minor) (D major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 3
I dreamed (G major) again it was west L.A.
On a crowded (D minor) street on
a hot summer day (A minor)
She was alone (G major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Three (G major) months late and beginning to show
In a mid (D minor) riff blouse she
would soon outgrow
She had no (A minor) one to call
And no way home (G major) (Dsus4) (D major) (C major)
And (G major) in (C major) my mind (G major) (C major)
I knew (G major) I'd seen (D major) myself (Dsus4) (D major) (Dsus4) (C major)
But (D major) in (C major) (E minor) our blindness (D major)
(C major) It always seems (G major) like someone (A minor) else (G major)
(C major) There I was a rag a bone
A remnant in your lost and found (Dsus4) (D major)
I was (A minor) for once truly alone
Longing (D major) to be mer (Dsus4) cy bound
(G major) (C major)
Verse 4
(G major)
And I knew (E flat major) that I would
wander as child in the forest
Till they (F major) found me
And I called (E flat major) out to them but I could
not penetrate the silence
(C minor) All around (G major) me
Interlude 2
(G major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (D major) (C major)
Verse 5
And (G major) when (C major) I (G major) wake (C major) I know (G major)
you'll (D major) comfort me (G major) (D major) (C major)
And (D major) I won't sleep (C major) again
(D major) (C major) for (G major) an etern (A minor) ity
But others lie awake at night
In desperation more profound
And the coming of the morning light
Will not (G major) see them mercy bound
Verse 6
And some (C major) will never dream again
From sleeping on the ground (Dsus4)
Just (D major) (A minor) longing to belong
And dying (G major) (D major) to be
mercy (Dsus4) (D major) bound (G major) (C major) (G major)
Oh please (A minor) don't stop
your dreaming
Someday (D major) we'll all be mercy bound
