      [Verse 1]
Em                      G                    Am   C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em                       G              Am      C
Somewhere out in between, on the open sea, Mercy

[Verse 2]
     Em
Mama travelled so far over every tide
        G
And for nearly nine months I was safe inside
   Am               C
Oh I, I was safe inside

[Verse 3]
        Em                                       G
But she couldn't ignore what she had to do ran away from the war

Nothing left to lose
    Am                  C
Oh no, nothing but our lives

[Chorus]
Em            G                     Am       C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em            G                     Am    C
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
Em            G                      Am        C
For all the children lost, to the cold, cold sea
Em            G                          Am     C
I'll live ten thousand years, je m'appelle Mercy

[Verse 4]
Em                     G                 Am      C
I had to take a breath, she had to be free
   Em                            G                   Am     C
To start again with nothing left, start a life with me, Mercy

[Verse 5]
       Em
But surrounded by blue, nothing else in sight
       G
If the water won, we would pay the price
    Am                       C
Oh we, we'd pay it with our lives

[Verse 6]
       Em
Rising over a wave came another boat
  G
A chance at survival, a sign of hope
    Am                                C
Oh my, they sang when they heard me cry

[Chorus]
Em            G                     Am       C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em            G                     Am    C
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
Em            G                      Am        C
For all the children lost, to the cold, cold sea
Em            G                          Am     C
I'll live ten thousand years, je m'appelle Mercy

[Bridge]
Em                 D                C
Does it mean we're safe and sound, when we're on solid ground?
G             Am     Em          B          C
When tomorrow comes, will we all face it together?
Am
When tomorrow comes

[Chorus]
Em            G                      Am     C
Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
Em            G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am            C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Em            G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am            C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci

[Outro]
Em            G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am            C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Em            G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am            C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
