[Bm] I'm saying [A] baby
Chorus:
Please have [Em] mercy on [G] me
Take it [Bm] easy on my [A] heart
Even though you don't [Em] mean to hurt [G] me

[Em] I'm not asking [G] for a lot
[Bm] Just that you're [A] honest with me
[Em] My pride [G] is all I got
[Bm] I'm saying [A] baby
Chorus:
Please have [Em] mercy on [G] me
Take it [Bm] easy on my [A] heart
Even though you don't [Em] mean to hurt [G] me
