    Am                                          D

1. Everytime I think that I'm the only one who's lonely

           Am                  D

    someone calls on me,

            Am                                             D

    and every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse

                               Am         D

    and curse those faults in me.

 

                    E

And then along comes Mary,

                           E                      A                                     E

and does she wanna give me kicks and be my steady chick,

                        A                    E - A - D - G

and give me pick of memorie..................s ?

B7                 E                    B7                       E                  B7

 E                   A

no one ever sees ?

 

                      Dm           Em              F

    When we met I was sure out to lunch,

                                D

    now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.  +  Am - D (2x)

 

                             Am                            D

2. When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks whose sickness

              Am                D

    is the games they play,

                            Am                                                    D

    and when the masquerade is played, the neighbor folks make jokes

                                 Am         D

    at who is most to blame today.

 

                  E

And then along comes Mary,

                           E                      A                              E

and does she wanna set 'em free and let 'em see reality

               A                          E - A - D - G

from where she got her na................me ?

B7                        E                           B7                      E                      B7

   And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch of hers

           E                           A

will make them not the same ?

 

                      Dm           Em             F

    now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.   +  Am - D (6x)

 

                            Am                                                      D

3. And when the morning of the warning's passed the gassed and flaccid

                             Am            D

    kids are flung across the stars,

                       Am                                                  D

   the psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songs are left unsung

                      Am           D

    and hung upon the scars.

 

                  E

And then along comes Mary,

                           E                      A                                        E

and does she wanna see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains

        A                        E - A - D - G

she left the night befo..................re ?

B7                     E                     B7                       E                   B7

    Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make them realize

         E                    A

their urgent cry for sight no more.

         

                      Dm           Em              F

    When we met I was sure out to lunch,
