C G C G
[Verse 1] (slow, dramatic)

Mercy
G Am
Why you gotta show up looking so good just to hurt me
G F
Why you gotta stop this whole damn world from turning
G C
Mmm Oh mercy
G Am
Why you're hanging on so tight if this ain't working
G F
Why you wanna stop this flame if it's still burning
G
Cause it's still burning
[Chorus] (faster, reggae rhythm)
Am F C G
So if you're gonna break my heart just break it
Am F C G
And if you're gonna take your shot then take it, take it
Am F C G
And if you made up your mind then make it, make this fast
F F G G
If you ever loved me

If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely

Wind up home alone please don't call me

And say you miss me, no
[Chorus]
Am F C G
So if you're gonna break my heart just break it
Am F C G
And if you're gonna take your shot then take it, take it

If you ever loved me
