Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio - Mercy Me Acoustic guitar tab

Special credits to e_mericana, who made the original tab upon which I based this version

chords.

Intro: A F#m D x2

A

It's been a long day living with this

F#m D

It's been a long time since I felt so sick

A

I took a long walk straight back home

F#m D

I could've walked back to San Francisco

A

I used to long for time alone

F#m D

I used to long for a place of my own

A

And I'm losing faith in everything

F#m D

I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see

A F#m D x2

A

I used to long for broken bones

F#m D

I used to long for a casket to call my own

A

I never had a problem facing fear

F#m D

But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and

F#m D

Oh mercy me

A E

God bless catastrophe

F#m D

There's no way in hell

A E

We'll ever live to see through this so

F#m E D

Drive yourself insane tonight

F#m E D

It's not that far away and

F#m E D A

I just filled up your tank earlier today

E A D

(Yeah!)

( C# B A )

[This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic

and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]

A

It's been a long day living with this

F#m D

It's been a long time since I felt so sick

A

I took a long walk straight back home

F#m D

I could've walked back to Chicago

A

I used to long for time alone

F#m D

I used to long for a place of my own

A

And I've lost faith in everything

F#m D

I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you

F#m D

Oh mercy me

A E

God bless catastrophe

F#m D

There's no way in hell

A E

We'll ever live to see through this so

F#m E D

Drive yourself insane tonight

F#m E D

It's not that far away and

F#m E D A

I just filled up your tank earlier today

E A D

(Yeah!)

( C# B A )

A F#m D x2

F#m E D

So drive yourself insane tonight

F#m E D

It's not that far away and

F#m E D A

I just filled up your tank earlier today

E A E A D

(Yeah! Yeah!)

( C# B A )

[Again, this quick progression isn't *really* necessary. You can just stick to the D

a wee bit and end with an A.]
