[Verse 1]
[Dm]In the middle of the [C]night again
[Dm]Still water and the [C]birds don't [G]sing
[Dm]Cold gin in the [C]back room humming
[Dm]Medicating for the [C]trouble that's [G]coming
[Verse 2]
[Dm]Walls rattle like a [C]deisel freighter
[Dm]Blood races like a[C] wa[G]ve
[Dm]This house wasn't [C]meant for strangers
[Dm]But you come knocking [C]any[G]way
[Chorus]
[Dm]I can hear you knocking on the [C]door
[Dm]I won't leave it open for you [C]any[G]more
[Dm]I can hear you knocking on the [C]door
[Dm]Knocking on the door of the [C]house of [G]mercy[Dm]
[Bridge]
[Bb]Don't try to change my mind
[C]That knock gets louder all the [Dm]time[C][G]
[Bb]Don't try to wear me down
[C]You'll never get inside this [Dm]hou[C]se[G]
[Verse 3]
[Dm]Underneath that [C]shirt you're wearing
[Dm]Strained muscles and a [C]heart of [G]stone
[Dm]Leather costume like a [C]wild chameleon
[Dm]You make me want to be [C]alo[G]ne
[Chorus]
[Dm]I can hear you knocking on the [C]door
[Dm]I won't leave it open for you [C]any[G]more
[Dm]I can hear you knocking on the [C]door
[Dm]Knocking on the door of the [C]house of [G]mercy[Dm]
