could make the world

look bright She was

young and perfect

and full of life
when she said

I’m gonna make

it out one night

As time passed
F C

From the bar she
lived above she
F C
sat and wrote
Am
by the light of
blue and yellow

neon signs
she wrote
Am
I’m gonna make
F C G/B
it out one night
Am
I’m gonna make

it out one night

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