Intro

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

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