E     A     E

[Verse 1]
E                               A  E
After one long season of waiting,
                                A  E
After one long season of wanting,
Cmaj7    Dmaj7    E  A  E
I am breaking open.

E                          A  E
My insides are pink and raw
                                  A  E
And it hurts me when I move my jaw
Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
But I am taking tiny steps forward

[Chorus 1]
    Bm7  Asus2
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  E
Tender mercy

[Verse 2]
E                                 A  E
The big trucks come up the highway
                                    A  E
And the big wheels rattle my windows
Cmaj7      Dmaj7               E  A  E
And night, night comes to Texas

E                                   A  E
After one blind season alone in here
                                A  E
After one long sweltering summer
Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
I, I'm going to find the exit

[Chorus 2]
    Bm7    Asus2
And I will go
E
To the house of a friend I know
    Bm7       Asus2
And I, I will let
E      B
Myself forget
              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  E
Tender mercy
