Verse 1:
[Bm]My eyes won't [Am]pretend
I didn't know [G]you [F#]were [Em]close
I can [G]smell your [Am]breath
Through a freshly [G]pain[F#]ted d[Em]oor
S[Bm]tand here in your co[Am]at
While I pour t[G]hree m[F#]ore g[Em]lasses of burgundy
And y[G]ou can lick the [Am]dust f[G]rom [F#]the b[Em]ottle
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:
[G]I'm not begging for [Em]mercy
[G]I see no love of mercy in [Em]you
[G]I'm not begging for [Em]mercy
[Bm]I'm only w[Am]aiting for the sound
Of the morning birds
To [G]send [F#]you a[Em]way
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...
