Verse 1

D
Time stands too still
        Bm                      G
Left you there for the kill
	   D
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
                Bm                 G
Leaves a man with nothing

Chorus

D		   A		     Bm		G
There's just no mercy in your eyes
D		   A		     Bm  	 G
There ain't no time to set things right
D		   A		     Bm  	 G
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
G	 	   A		     Bm  	 D
I'm just a painful reminder
G	     A		     D
Another day you leave behind

Verse 2

D
Love grows so thin
         Bm                      G
Suits your taste for bitter ends
	   D
But this ache that holds you in
                Bm                 G
Leaves no place to begin

Chorus

D		   A		     Bm		G
There's just no mercy in your eyes, child
D		   A		     Bm		G
There ain't no time to set things right
D		   A		     Bm		G
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
G	 	   A		     Bm  	 D
I'm just a painful reminder
G	     A		     D
Another day you leave behind

Verse 3

D
Words seem so blind
         Bm                      G
I've been pushed far aside
D
Soon my choice seems too small
                Bm                 G
Any move and I could fall

Chorus

D		   A		     Bm		G
There's just no mercy in your eyes, child
D		   A		     Bm		G
There ain't no time to set things right
D		   A		     Bm		G
And I'm not preaching to the choir
G	 	   A		     Bm  	 D
I'm just a painful reminder
G	     A		     D
And you're a fool satisfied
