E                                A  E  
after one long season of waiting,
E                                A  E  
after one long season of wanting,
Cmaj9  Dmaj7       E  A E
i am breaking open.


E                           A  E  
my insides are pink and raw.
E                                  A  E  
and it hurts me when i move my jaw,
Cmaj9    Dmaj7  E           E
but i am taking tiny steps forward.

and i... i feel 
E
sure that my wounds will heal.
    Bm7          Asus2
and i, i will bloom 
E          B
here in my room.
                 E   C  (C/B  C/A)
with a little water.
                            E   C  (C/B  C/A)
and a little bit of sunlight.
                      E     Bm7 
and a little bit of tender mercy,
Asus2
tender
E
mercy.


the big trucks come up the highway.
and the big wheels rattle my windows.
and night, night comes to texas.

after one blind season alone in here,
after one long sweltering summer,
i, i'm going to find the exit.

and i will go 
to the house of a friend i know.
and i will let my-
self forget.
with a little water.
and a little bit of sunlight.
and a little bit of tender mercy,
tender
mercy.
