[Verse 1]
G G7 C
Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul
G G7 C
You're army's trying so very hard to find for me a goal
F# D7
But where's your quiet pastures where there's time for me to be
G7 C
Nothing else but what I am that's what you seem scared to see
F# D7
You cover up your emptiness with brick and noise and rush
G7 C
Oh I can see and touch you but you don't owe reality much
[Chorus]
C G C F
Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
F C E Am G C
Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me
C G C F
Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
[Instrumental break]
C G x4
[Verse 2]
G G7 C
Send another carriage chugging down your chokey tube
G G7 C
I hope it makes you happy 'cause it don't do my health much good
F# D7
You slowly killing fumes now squeeze the lemon in my head
G7 C
Make me know just what it's like for a sin drenched christian to be dead
F# D7
Ah show me your glitter and your flashing neon light
G7 C
You see I think that only the sun knows how to be quietly bright
[Chorus]
C G C F
Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
F C E Am G C
Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me
C G C F
Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind (but the opposite is also true)
