V1: (repeat intro riff)
 
Bb           F
In all my life, Mercy
 
Bb              F                              A    Bb
Hasn't known my name this well/ Like how every sea filters out
 
Bb                                      F
And leads us gently to a creek/ We sit around
 
Dm                             C              Bb
Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
 
Chorus 1:
 
          F                   Bb
So let us down/ But if you must
 
                  F
Let us down easy… lord
 
Bb                F
Let us down easy….lord
 
Bb            F
Oooo   Let us down
 
V2:
 
   Bb               F
In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke/ 
         Bb             F
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
 
              A    Bb
Down here in this neighbourhood/ It's just the dumps
 
With cars iced up, perfect/ for writing
    F
on if/ You're wearing gloves
Dm
Every season I spend alone/ 
C                           Bb
Feels like a thousand to my heart and in my soul
 
Chorus 2:
Bb         F                     Bb
So let me down if you must/ But let us down/ 
F              Bb         F
Easy lord…oh, Let us down easy Lord
 
Bb           F
Oooo Let us down!
 
Bridge:
 
F                              Bb
Let us down/Let us down/Let Us Down (x2)
 
Interlude: F Bb (x2)
 
V3: (Chords the same, essentially)
 
Instead of praying I tell god/ these jokes he must
 
Be tired of himself so much he must be more/ Than disappointed Christmas
 
comes we eat alone/ A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who
 
Takes your order she yells/ it and cries alone in/
 
The backroom once in a while until it stops/ Then she smiles
 
Chorus 3:
 
So let her down easy if you must/ But let her down easy
 
Some of us are strong/ But the rest of us are weak
 
And go it alone/ So let us down easy if you must
 
But let us down easy, Lord/Let us down easy lord,
 
Outro:
 
F                                     Bb
(Let us down/ Let us down/Let us down, Easy)  (x a ton of times)
 
End on F
