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

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