Tears for Fears - Rivers Of Mercy: chords

             G           D       Em
Well, the streets have started burning
          Bm
There's trouble in the towns
           G     D         Em                     D
Guess the devil loves his playground, that's for sure
      C              Em              D
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
          G         D    Em
Well, to hell with my immunity
       C
Gonna hold you close
                          C Em D
Till the shadows disappear
C            Em                   D
(Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah)

C      Em                  D
If by magic, you mean the ocean
C      Em                  D
If by tragic, you mean the end
C           Em                  D
We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from Heaven
C             Em                       D
And come and drown me in the infinite sea

Chorus:
C           Em                   D
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah

Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
C           Em                   D
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Bring out the dead tonight
and bathe them in your sacred light to
C
Wash away the pain (Wash away the pain)
Em                            D
Save me from the shadows, yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
C           Em                   D
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah

Show me mercy, miracle waters
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung, we were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down, river, and float me upstream

Chorus

C                   G#m
Spinning upside down
                           Em
In the wake of mighty waves
                          D
See the anger of the world
                      C
When feelings run high
                  G#m
When feelings are so raw
                       Em   D
We will give in to the night

Chorus
