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

Get a plan together

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