AmF
Give me mercy and a minute now. I’ma bleed a little poison
CG
out. I’ma cry a little river down, then I’m setting this whole
AmF
thing on fire. And I’m burning up the night she died. I’m
C
putting every last picture aside, I’m gonna say what I need to
GAm
say. In my very last letter to you 'Cause you always made it
FC
clear, said you’d never be my pain. So here’s to you and your
GAm
bright baby blues, just a pause to cool the refrain.
F
And you said were satisfied, that this body just weighted the
CG
tide. And that you missed him sometimes, but you said it's all right, its just a
whole lot harder alone.
Am C/B F x 3 G
[Chorus]
CGAm
But I wish you knew her now. She’s the better side of me now.
FC
I’m doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see
GAm
like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you
F
looked just like, it was 1930 that night.
[Verse]
AmF
But hear the days will eat you alive, but I won’t give in
CG
tonight. You said its not worth my time, and not to regard
AmF
them. And not to settle just for piece of mind, I could wait
CGAm
it out all night, If I just keep breathing [sigh] But Mary,
FC
I found the sound, and if this heart keeps pouring it out,
G
The glory hasn't come, and it's probably gonna fade, like a
AmF
tattoo that hides this shame. But reasons always fade.
C
The pain gives out some day. So I’m saying my goodbyes to your
GAmC/BF
deep blue eyes, cause I don’t know how say, to stay still
AmC/BFAmC/BFG
in the pain. Stay still in the pain.
[Chorus]
CGAm
But I wish you knew her now. She’s the better side of me now.
FC
I’m doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see
GAm
like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you
F
looked just like, it was 1930 that night.

CGAm
And if I recall the last thing you said to me, before it broke
CGF
up. Before it took you from me.
CGAmF
You said I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your
CGAmF
name just escapes me tonight.
(Nobody does it like you anymore)
