I met Mary on a

moonless night

could make the world

look bright She was

young and perfect
Fb B
and full of life
when she said
G#m
I’m gonna make

it out one night

Fb B F#/A#
it out one night

As time passed
Fb B
we both got old
G#m
From the bar she
lived above she

sat and wrote
G#m
by the light of
blue and yellow
Fb B
neon signs
she wrote
G#m
I’m gonna make
Fb B F#/A#
it out one night

I’m gonna make

it out one night

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