E5           C5                 D5             G5
Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (whisper in my ear)
E5        C5          D5              G5
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
E5           C5                D5              G5
And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
E5           C5             B5
But it would linger on for years

            C5          B5               E5
It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers
           C5          B5              E5
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
          C5                 B5             E5               C5
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
            C5              B5               E5
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
          C5                 B5             E5               C5
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
            C5              B5               E5
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

   E5     C5      D5     G5
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
E5              C5          D5              G5
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
       E5            C5                      D5               G5
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
E5    C5     B5
Mercy mercy me

    C5          B5               E5
"We can't just blame it on our mothers
           C5          B5              E5

            C5              B5               E5

          C5                 B5             E5               C5
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
            C5              B5               D5
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

   E5     C5      D5     G5
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
E5              C5          D5              G5
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
       E5            C5                      D5               G5
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
E5    C5     D5
Mercy mercy me

E5              C5       D5                 G5    
That's all they came for, that's all they took
E5            C5             D5          G5
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
E5            C5             D5            G5
And when they realized we'd given all we could, 
E5               C5            B5
that's when they finally understood

E5    C5     D5     G5
Mercy mercy mercy me
E5             C5           D5                  G5
Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see
E5             C5                     D5            G5
Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak
E5    C5     D5
Mercy mercy me

C5              B5               E5
We can't quite blame it on our mothers
           C5          B5              E5
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
          C5                 B5             E5               C5
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track
            C5              B5               E5
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
          C5                 B5             E5               C5
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long
            C5              B5               E5
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
         C5                 D5              B5                E5
Watch it crash and there's nothing we can do, but watch it crash...
