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
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
D
Love grows a fear
Bm G
Suites your taste of bitter ends
D
But this stake that holds you in
Bm G
Leaves no place to begin
D A Bm G
There's just no mercy in your eyes
D A Bm G
There ain't no time for selling lies
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

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