Verse 1:
B5            A5
My eyes won't pretend
              G5   F#5   E5
I didn't know you were close
      G5          A5
I can smell your breath
                  G5   F#5   E5
Through a freshly painted door
 B5                  A5
Stand here in your coat
              G5     F#5   E5
While I pour three more glasses of burgundy
     G5               A5    G5   F#5   E5
And you can lick the dust from the bottle

Verse 2:
Wall's bricked with books
Pages bricked with words
Each mark has been stained in your honor
Ground shadow staggers restless
From the window cross the candle to the corner
My blood and water's warm as you near me

Chorus:
G5                   E5
I'm not begging for mercy
G5                         E5
I see no love of mercy in you
G5                   E5
I'm not begging for mercy
B5        A5
I'm only waiting for the sound
Of the morning birds
   G5    F#5   E5
To send you away

Verse 3:
Wax is cooled, hard
Sights is going past the yard
In this house I make more shadows than you
Stand there in your hate
While I drink from the second burgundy
And you can rattle the glass cross your belly

(Chorus)

I'm not begging for mercy
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm only waiting for the sound
Of the morning birds to swallow you...
