The Gates Have Mercy
You held her and[b] said[F#]
"I'm not worthy, but I'll [C#m]try to be a bette[Emaj7]r man."
"If you don't have the t[B]ime then leave
I've been wait[C#m]ing all year for something that wa[Emaj7]s never really [B]here."
[F#]"Well you were [C#m]never really here."
[Emaj7]Your nose and your throat
and [F#/E]everyt[Edim]hing th[F#dim/E]at's in b[C#dim]etween
[Emaj7]Two eyes ju[F#/E]st like mine
[Emaj7]A pair I wish could've seen
The times [B]you were the best[C#m] you could be with me
We [B]were never m[C#m]eant to be
E (rings out)
We were happening
[E]You're a shallow hole and everyone[C#m] can see
If I called you n[B]ow would you be th[C#m]ere to [B]answe[C#m]r me?[B]
[C#m]Cause I don't know if I would answer you[B]
[C#m]When I cross the gates and I find you[E]
[Ab]Remember you[F#] said
You're so nervous you're s[C#m]o tired[Emaj7]
Cheap talk, unsteady walk
For such a pretty li[B]ar
Finding old so[C#m]uls to cast a mold
And then set f[Emaj7]ire[B]
And[C#m] if you want I could t[E]ake you higher and higher
[E]You're a shallow hole and everyone[C#m] can see
If I called you n[B]ow would you be th[C#m]ere to [B]answe[C#m]r me?[B]
[C#m]Cause I don't know if I would answer you[B]
[C#m]When I cross the gates and I find you[E]
[E] [B] [E]
[E]I don't know what I've been told
The road I walked was paved with gold
[C#m]But oh, you d[B]idn't want to go
[E]I don't know what I've been told
The road I walked was paved with gold
[C#m]But oh, you d[E]idn't want to[B] go[Amaj7] [B]
Well I don't k[C#m]now if I would a[B]nswer you[A] [B]
[C#m]When I cross the gates and I find y[E]ou
[E]You're a shallow hole and everyone[C#m] can see
If I called you n[B]ow would you be th[C#m]ere to [B]answe[C#m]r me?[B]
[C#m]Cause I don't know if I would answer you[B]
[C#m]When I cross the gates and I find you[E]
[E]You're a shallow hole and everyone[C#m] can see
If I called you n[B]ow would you be th[C#m]ere to [B]answe[C#m]r me?[B]
[C#m]Cause I don't know if I would answer you[B]
[C#m]When I cross the gates and I find you [E]
