[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Gm] _ [Fm] _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Bb] _ [Ab]
I _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ know we don't [Bb] see eye to [Ab] _ _ eye
We've _ [Eb] let angry hearts flare [Ebm] and [Db] the bitter words fly _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ The common ground [Db] we used to [Ab] share
_ _ _ Is _ harder [C] to find but [Db] I believe that it's still [Ab] there
_ I _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] don't [Ab] know if now is the _ _ _ time
_ To [Eb] surrender the silence [Gb] between your heart and [Db] mine
But _ _ _ [Ab] the love [Bbm] that I've chosen [Ab] cries out to [Db] be spoken
[Bbm] Leaving [Ab] the [Db] heartache behind _
_ _ We [Bbm] must reach out beyond justice _ [Ab] to _ mercy
_ _ _ [Db] Going more than halfway _ [Bbm] [Ab] to forgive _
[Db] _ _ [Fm] And though the distance seems [Ab] so far
The [Db] love that used to hold [Ab] our hearts
Hopes [Bb] to take [Ab] us beyond justice to _ [Db] mercy
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ It _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
doesn't matter who's to _ _ blame
_ _ For [Eb] the love that I have [Gb] for you is still the [Db] same _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ A tender voice is calling me _ _ _
_ _ To [Eb] that place of compassion [Gb] where hearts run pure and [Db] _ free _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] Where the hunger [Bbm] for vengeance [Ab] gives way [Db] to repentance
[Bbm] Where [Ab] love will teach [Db] us to see
_ _ [Bbm] We can reach out beyond justice [Ab] to mercy _ _ _ _
[Db] Going more than [Bbm] halfway to [Ab] _ forgive
_ [Db] _ _ And [Fm] though the distance seems [Db] so far
The love that used to hold [Ab] our hearts
[Bbm] Hopes to take [Ab] us beyond justice _ to [Db] mercy
_ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ To _ mercy
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] To mercy
_ _ _ We [Bbm] can reach out _ _ [Db] beyond justice [Ab] to mercy _ _ _ _
[Eb] Going more _ [Db] _ _ than halfway to [Ab] [Cm] forgive
_ _ [Db] _ _ And though the distance seems so [Ab] far
The [Db] love that used to hold [Ab] our hearts
Hopes [Bbm] to take [Ab] us [Db] beyond justice [Ab]
to [Db] mercy
