CHORDS: Arm\’s Length – Playing Mercy Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
G D G A Bm
G D A 


[Verse 1]
G           D
Explain the paranormal
        G       A    
Or just tell me what 
    Bm
you saw
              G  
You\'re having dreams 
about the 
D              A
silhouettes you draw
    Bm           
And you\'re still 
 A      G
laying low
G           D 
But you are hardly
 missing 
G  A        Bm
anything at all
              G 
It\'s like the fear 
of missing 
A               
out has met its 
Bm
match
When you\'re 
what\'s 
A
missing

[Chorus]
G          D     
I spent my best 
years 
        G 
playing mercy 
A         Bm
with your ghost
             G  
You\'ll never beat 
me but you\'re 
D             A
getting really close
           Bm       
And you\'re crushing 
A     G
up my pills
       D      A
I\'m scared to swallow
(I slow the speed 
   Bm     
of sound, 
       A         
coming from your 
G
mouth)
        D    A
But I always choke
        Bm     A
And you beg to differ



[Verse 2]
G            D
 I matched my breath 
with your breath
  G     A        Bm
I do it just for fun
              G
You\'d like to think 
I\'m counting
D             A
Each and every one
      Bm      A
But I lost my focus



[Pre-chorus]
G           D
 You call my name
       A          
With a tin can on 
  G
a string
                 D
You can count on me
    A
But fuck, who\'s 
counting?
G           D
 You always said
         A
You\'d be crying if 
you could
G                D
 I knew what you meant
    A
But I still wish you 
would 
(I still wish you 
would)



[Chorus]
G          D      
I spent my best years
 playing 
G     A         Bm
mercy with your ghost
             G       
You\'ll never beat me
 but you\'re
 D             A
 getting really close
           Bm       
And you\'re crushing 
A    G
up my pills
       D      A
I\'m scared to swallow
                  
(I slow the speed 
   Bm    
of sound,
         A   
 coming from 
      G
your mouth)
        D    A
But I always choke
        Bm      A
And you beg to differ



[Bridge]
Bm
If I knew half the 
things you know
G                  
I\'d never shut the 
         D
f**k up, oh
You only slept right 
       A
in the cold
Shoot for the sky 
              Bm
until someone goes
I wrote it down so 
      G
I\'d remember
              D
I need to write my 
              D
thoughts down more
But I can barely 
read 
            A
my own damn writing
I\'ve always rathered 
        Em
reading you
I\'ve always 
rathered 
        G
reading yours



[Verse 3]
G              
Begged them to 
D
burn your body
     G      A   
They buried you 
  Bm
instead
         G                 
Said you couldn\'t 
tell the 
D               
difference when 
      A
you\'re dead

[Outro]
        G   D  
When I\'m scared
    A
 to swallow
         G   
Where you go,
D     A
 I\'ll follow
I\'ll follow
D  C# Bm A G
