The song revolves around the D


[Verse 1]
         G          D/F#   Em
I was sitting in a crummy movie,
         D           C    G/B   Am7  D
With my hands on my chin,
        G       D/F#   Em
Oh the violence that occurs,
              D     C    G/B   Am7  D
Seems like we never win


[Chorus]
G        D/F#
Love and mercy,
        Em       D      C   G/B   Am7  D
That's what you need tonight
    G       D/F#     Em
So, love and mercy to you,
           D        C    G/B    Am7  D
And your friends tonight


[Verse 2]
        G         D/F#
I was lying in my room,
         Em       D   C   G/B   Am7  D
And the news came on TV,
   G            D/F#        Em
A lot of people out there hurting,
         D           C    G/B   Am7  D
And it really scares me!


[Chorus]
  G      D/F#
Love and mercy,
        Em       D      C   G/B   Am7  D
That's what you need tonight
     G       D/F#     Em
So, love and mercy to you,
           D        C    G/B    Am7  D
And your friends tonight


[Verse 3]
         G          D/F#
I was standing in a crowded bar,
      Em               D      C   G/B  Am7  D
And watching all the people there,
           G      D/F#      Em
Oh, the loneliness in this world,
            D        C   G/B   Am7  D
Well, it's just not fair


[Bridge]
G            C           Cm7
  Oooooooooo ooooooooooo      (x2)


[Chorus]
       G      D/F#
Hey, love and mercy,
        Em       D      C   G/B   Am7  D
That's what you need tonight
     G       D/F#     Em
So, love and mercy to you,
           D        C    G/B    Am7  D
And your friends tonight


[Coda]
  G      D/F#
Love and mercy,
        Em       D      C    G/B
That's what you need tonight
Am7            D7       G    D/F#
     Love and mercy tonight
