Intro
G
Em C G x4
[Verse 1]
Em
I met Mary on a
C G
moonless night
Em
but her starry eyes
C
could make the world
G
look bright She was
Em
young and perfect
C G
and full of life
when she said
Em
I’m gonna make
C G D/F#
it out one night
Em
I’m gonna make
C G D/F#
it out one night
[Verse 2]
Em
As time passed
C G
we both got old
Em
From the bar she
lived above she
C G
sat and wrote
Em
by the light of
blue and yellow
C G
neon signs
she wrote
Em
I’m gonna make
C G D/F#
it out one night
Em
I’m gonna make
C
it out one night
[Chorus 1]
G
So Go on work all
C G

Get a plan together

Get your demons

wants to bring you

Post Chorus: Guitar Solo
Em C G x4
[Verse 3]
Em
I ran into her
C G
in union square
Em
but her starry
eyes were looking
C G
dim and scared
Em
With her cigarette
C
providing all the
G Em
light she said
Em
I’m gonna make
C G D/F#
it out one night
Em
I’m gonna make
C G D/F#
it out one night
[Verse 4]
Em
It rained the night
C G
I said goodbye When
Em
I lit her candle
C
I never thought
G Em
to cry cause Mary
you never were
Em C
the staying kind
Em
You were gonna
C
make it out one
G D/F#
night you were
Em
gonna make it
C
out one night
(Repeat Chorus 1)
[Bridge]
Em
There’s a moment
D
that we chase
G
and we fall along
C
the way cause we’re
Em
not looking when we
D
run And if that
G C
moment never comes
C
save your breath
D
We only get so many
G D/F#
trips around the
Em C
sun and there’s
D
no lucky stars
[Chorus 2]
G
So Go on work all
C G
your angles out
Em
Get a plan together
C
Get your demons
G Em
out Mary the world
C
wants to bring you
G Em
down but don’t
D
you let them
G C G
whoa oh oh oh
Em C G
whoa oh oh oh
Em C G
whoa oh oh oh
Em D G
whoa oh oh oh
