              Tabbed by Dillon Falk                        
 
 
D 
Time stands too still 
             Bm         G 
Left you there for the kill 
D 
But this hope that sorrow bleeds 
         Bm          G 
Leaves a man with nothing 
 
D               A             Bm   G 
There's just no mercy in your eyes 
D               A                 Bm   G 
There ain't no time to set things right 
D         A                  Bm   G 
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight 
G            A       Bm      D 
I'm just a painful reminder 
G       A               D 
Another day you leave behind 
 
D 
Love grows a fear 
            Bm               G 
Suites your taste of bitter ends 
D 
But this stake that holds you in 
          Bm         G 
Leaves no place to begin 
 
D               A             Bm   G 
There's just no mercy in your eyes 
D              A                Bm   G 
There ain't no time for selling lies 
D         A                  Bm    G 
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight 
G           A        Bm     D 
I'm just a painful reminder 
G       A               D 
Another day you leave behind 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++ 
 
D 
Words seem so blind 
          Bm          G 
I've been pushed far aside 
   D 
To my choice seems too small 
       Bm            G 
Any move and I could fall 
 
D               A             Bm    G 
There's just no mercy in your eyes, child 
D              A                Bm    G 
There ain't no time to set things right 
D           A                Bm   G 
And I'm not preaching to the choir 
G          A         Bm     D 
I'm just a painful reminder 
G            A            D 
And you're a fool to satisfy
