Verse
 
G             Am7        C            Em 
Please mother mercy take me from this place 
        G           Am7           C             F 
And the long winded curses I keep hearing in my head 
G           Am7        C              Em 
Words never listen and teachers never learn 
G                     Am7          C               F 
Now I'm warm from the candle but I feel to cold to burn 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
 He came from an island and he died from the street

 He hurt so bad like a soul breaking but he never said nothing to me

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven

Verse
 
G          Am7   C           Em 
New like a baby, lost like a prayer 
G                Am7                C                    F 
The sky was your playground but the cold ground was your bed 
G        Am7         C                   Em 
Poor stargazer she's got no tears in her eyes 
G             Am7                    C                          F 
Smooth like a whisper she knows that love heals all wounds with time

G       Am7                   C              Em 
I never wanted to write these words down for you 
           G        Am7        C                  F 
With these pages of phrases of things we'll never do 
     G            Am7          C          Em 
So I blow out the candle and I put you to bed 
          G                       Bb6 
Since you can't say to me how the dogs broke your bone

There's just one thing left to be said ..yeah..
