Have Mercy Lyrics

*** Introduction:
C  F  Am  :||
*** Verse 1:
C          F              Am
He made me feel so second-best
  G                         F     F2
I never should have let him do it
C           F                Am
but when he makes his pretty mess
G                       F     F2
somehow you just fall into it
*** Chorus:
D 
Have mercy on him
    F           C           F    F2
the love that I gave him is gone
D
Have mercy on him
    F           C                F    F2  Fm
the love that I saved for him is gone
*** Verse 2:
He wasn't just another touch               C  F   Am
he was something I created                 G  F   F2
and though I loved him much too much       C  F   Am
I never thought my love was wasted         G  F   F2
*** Chorus:
Have mercy on him                          D
the love that I gave him is gone           F  C   F  F2

*** Verse 3:
How do you know who you should blame?      C  F   Am
You spend your love, or you conserve it    G  F   F2
