[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][Dsus4][Am][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Late
last night I awoke in a dream
To [Dm]the sound of a voice that
was almost [Am]a scream
[G]Oh [Dsus4]oh oh[D]
From [Dsus4]out of the city[G]
and out of the street
[Dm]Out where the wind hits
the cold [Am]concrete
[G]Oh [Dsus4]oh oh[D]

[Verse 2]
[C]
[Csus2]It's cold[Dsus4] outside[G][C][G][C]
Dark[G]ness your [D]enemy[C]
No [D]place [C]to [D]hid[C]e
The [G]voice said [Am]this to me
[G]In your doo[C]rways I have shivered
In your alleys I have gone
[Dsus4]to ground[D]
But [Am]I will be delivered
[G]Someday [D]I will be [Dsus4]mercy
[G]bound

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
I [G]dreamed again it was west L.A.
On [Dm]a crowded street on
a hot summer [Am]day
She was [G]alone[Dsus4][D]
[G]Three months late and beginning to show
In a mid[Dm]riff blouse she
would soon outgrow
She had [Am]no one to call
And no way [G]home[Dsus4][D][C]
And [G]in [C]my min[G]d[C]
I [G]knew I'd [D]seen my[Dsus4]self[D][Dsus4][C]
But [D]in [C]our[Em] blindne[D]ss
[C]It always see[G]ms like som[Am]eone els[G]e
[C]There I was a rag a bone
A remnant in your lost and [Dsus4]found[D]
[Am]I was for once truly alone
[D]Longing to be [Dsus4]mer cy bound
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And [Eb]I knew that I would
wander as child in the forest
Till they [F]found me
And I [Eb]called out to them but I could
not penetrate the silence
[Cm]All around [G]me

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][Am][D][C]

[Verse 5]
And [G]when [C]I wak[G]e I k[C]now[G]
you'll [D]comfort [G]me[D][C]
And [D]I won't s[C]leep again
[D]for[C] an ete[G]rnity[Am]
But others lie awake at night
In desperation more profound
And the coming of the morning light
Will not [G]see them mercy bound

[Verse 6]
[C]And some will never dream again
From sleeping on the [Dsus4]ground
[D]Just [Am]longing to belong
And [G]dying [D]to be
[Dsus4]mercy bou[D]nd[G][C][G]
Oh [Am]please don't stop
your dreaming
[D]Someday we'll all be mercy bound
