Tender Mercies

C#m          A
It came to nothing
E                    G#m
This longing, this long
C#m            A
Your tender mercies
E                             B
They weren't enough, weren't enough

[Chorus]
      E            A                G#m        B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so long to learn
            E                A               G#m         F#m
the world is coming down around us while we wait our turn
             E              A       G#m       B    C#m7
Now we're running out of road and hope will have you gone

[Verse]
C#m
                 A
They'll try to warn ya
               E           G#m
It's a cruel world, a cruel world
C#m
                        A
They'll mislead and misinform you
            E              G#m
Don't you turn, don't you turn

[Chorus]
      E            A                G#m        B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us, so long to learn
            E                A               G#m         F#m
the world is falling down around us while we wait our turn
             E              A       G#m       B         F#m
Now we're running out of road and hope will have you gone

[Bridge]
                 B
Beyond that light storm in the air
                F#m
I wonder if you'd hear it now
                  B
An endless storm come ringing through the air

[Outro]
      C#m             A              E        B
Oh, what I said, it's taken us so long to learn
            C#m              A                E       B
the world is coming down around us while we wait our turn
               C#m              A              E                  B            C#m
Now we're running out, still plain in doubt, still jumping from the windows of the world
        A                  E                 B
Your tender mercies, they weren't enough, weren't enough
