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

C# Gb C#

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