[Verse 1]
Am                         E                  G                           D
After all these implements and texts designed by intellects
 C                            D                           G
So vexed to find, evidently there's still so much that hides
          Am              E                           G              D
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient feeding lines
           C                    D                    G
Their sentiment is just as hard to pluck from the vine

[Pre-Chorus]
F                      D
I'll try hard not to pretend
F                         D        E
Allow myself no mock defense
Step into the night

[Verse 2]
Am     E                           G                    D                   C
Since I don't have time nor mind to figure out the nursery rhymes
          D                     G
That helped us out in making sense of our lives
Am                   E                      G            D
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
C                          D                   G
I value them but I won't cry every time one's wiped out

[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                           D
I'll try hard not to give in
F                          D           E
Batten down to fare the wind
F                          D                
Rid my head of this pretense
F                          D              E
Allow myself no mock defense
Step into the night

[Chorus]
C                    G
Mercy's eyes are blue
Dm                         F    G         C     G
And when she places them in front of you
Dm      F                 G        C    G
Nothing holds a Roman candle to
Dm            F             G          F      C
The solemn warmth you feel inside
C          Bb    
There's no measuring of
  G                   E
Nothing else is love

[Ulangi Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]
C                  G
Mercy's eyes are blue
Dm                      F   G        C     G
When she places them in front of you
Dm        F             G     C      G
Nothing really holds a candle to
Dm            F           G             F         C
The solemn warmth you feel inside you
