D#m Cb F# x4
[Verse 1]
D#m
I met Mary on a
Cb F#
moonless night
D#m
but her starry eyes
Cb
could make the world
F#
look bright She was
D#m
young and perfect
Cb F#
and full of life
when she said
D#m
I’m gonna make
Cb F# C#/F
it out one night
D#m
I’m gonna make
Cb F# C#/F
it out one night
[Verse 2]
D#m
As time passed
Cb F#
we both got old
D#m
From the bar she
lived above she
Cb F#
sat and wrote
D#m
by the light of
blue and yellow
Cb F#
neon signs
she wrote
D#m
I’m gonna make
Cb F# C#/F
it out one night
D#m
I’m gonna make
Cb
it out one night
[Chorus 1]
F#
So Go on work all
Cb F#
your angles out
D#m
Get a plan together
Cb
Get your demons
F# D#m
out Mary the world
Cb
wants to bring you
F# D#m
down but don’t
C#
you let them
F# Cb F#

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