verse 1 
 
Bb              Fm7 
 Have mercy on a fool like me 
C                        Am7 
 My eyes were open but I just couldn't see 
G#                           Cm       Cm7     Cm G7        G   
 The way the world works without honesty, honest-ly, I was blind 
 
 
verse 2 
 
Bb                       Fm7 
 All my heroes have been laid to rest 
C                        Am7  
 And all my idols I have come to possess 
G#                              Cm        Cm7     Cm G7     G  
 And I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart, oh...

 Nothing here is certain 
Dm          C             Bb  
 We chase a shadow of our own dream's design 
F           G              Am7  G 
 And wonder why it takes so  lo-ng 
F           G                  Am  
 And wonder just where we went wrong 
           Dm            C                Bb  
 We hold a candle in the wind to light our way 
 
verse 3 
 
Bb                  Fm7        
 Go lightly in your judgement please 
C                            Am7  
 I didn't know the world was filled with such greed 
G#                        Cm         Cm7       Cm G7               G 
 I'm only asking let your heart intercede, and I  know they still exist 
 
verse 4 
 
Bb                                Fm7  
 They say you learn something new every day 
C                          Am7  
 I want to learn to forget all this dismay 
G#                           Cm         Cm7     Cm  G7          G  
 At finding out the way that some folks play, only they's gonna win...

 Nothing here is sacred 
Dm          C                      Bb                    
 The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine 
F            G                Am7   G 
 And left us standing here stranded 
F         G             Am  
 Our only hope's to abandon 
               Dm                   C               Bb  
 These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long 
Bb 
 Have mercy, have mercy ...
