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

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