Let Us Down Easy

Intro E

   A       E     
In all my life, Mercy
A               E
Hasn't known my name this well
                    A
Like how every sea filters out

And leads us gently to a creek
        E
We sit around


C#m
Some of us are strong
B                      A
But the rest of us are weak
           E               A
So let us down if you must



             E              A
Let us down easy lord
             E              A
Let us down easy lord
             E
Let us down



     A              E
In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke
A                        E
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
                A
Down here this neighbourhood

It's the dumps

With cars iced up, perfect

for writing on if
      E
You're wearing gloves


C#m
Every season I spend alone
B                           A
Feels like a thousand to my heart and in my soul
          E                  A
So let me down if you must,
                E                  A
But let us down easy lord
            E                  A
Let us down easy lord
                E                  A
ooh let us down



E/A x2
E/A on third time go into verse


A                         E
Instead of praying I tell god these jokes 
A                      E
he must be tired of himself so much 
                          A
he must be more than disappointed Christmas comes
                                                  E               
we eat alone a pretty girl surrounds some pretty thought who
C#m
Takes your order she yells it and cries alone in
    B                 A
The backroom once it stops then she smiles.



           E                   A
So let her down if you must
                 E                 A
But let us down easy, Lord
             E                A
Let us down easy, Lord
             E                A
Let us down easy, Lord



              E                                  A            
Ooh, let us down
             (let us down, let us down, let us down)
              E                                  A                       
Let us down easy, Lord
             (let us down, let us down, let us down)



         E                                 A
Let us down
       (let us down, let us down, let us down)
              E                                A
Let us down easy, Lord
            (let us down, let us down, let us down)



E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)



E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
E                                 A
let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
