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.

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 ?

E B7 E B7
Or maybe rather gather tales
from all the fails and tribulations,
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.

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.

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 ?

And will they struggle much
when told that such a tender touch of hers
E A
will make them not the same ?

When we met I was sure out to
lunch,

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.

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 ?

Or will their waking eyes
reflect the lies and make them realize
E A
their urgent cry for sight no more.

my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.
