Mary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Burn up with the water
The floods around the plains
The planets in a rose
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me
in the January rain?
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Mom and Dad and violins
[G]Somber country si[D]lence
The needle stopped the kicking
The [A]clothespins on the floor
[D]And my heart is playing hide and seek
[G]Wait and count to [D]four
Will [A]you love me like [D]you loved me and
I'll nev[G]er ask for more

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
What did you tell me [G]Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
[D]Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heav[A]ens,
when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your [D]hands were making artifacts

[Verse 4]
in the corner of my mind
[G]Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
[D]Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
With our [G]aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
[D]Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The [A]clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The sug[D]ar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The [G]marching band
When April ran
May [D]June bugs fly in
Push [A]your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
[G]Here we go around Mary in
your fam[D]ous story book

[Verse 5]
[D]
We overcome the sirens
[G]We look both left and [D]right
And I can feel the numbness
ac[A]company my [D]plight
And I know that someday
soon I'll see you
[G]But now you're out [D]of sight
And you'll kiss [A]me [D]like you use[A]d to in the Jan[G]uary

[Verse 6]
What did you tell me [G]Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
[D]Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heav[A]ens,
when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your [D]hands were making artifacts

[Verse 7]
in the corner of my mind
[G]Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
[D]Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our [G]aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
[D]Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The [A]clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The [D]sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The [G]marching band
When April ran
May [D]June bugs fly in
Push [A]your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
[G]Here you go around Mary
in your fam[D]ous story book
