Intro: A5 C5 C5 x 3  F5

A5                            F5
  Give me mercy and a minute now. I?ma bleed a little poison 

 C5                            G5
out. I?ma cry a little river down, then I?m setting this whole 

           A5                                     F5
thing on fire. And I?m burning up the night she died. I?m 

                             C5
putting every last picture aside, I?m gonna say what I need to 

G5                               A5
say. In my very last letter to you 'Cause you always made it 

  F5                             C5
clear, said you?d never be my pain. So here?s to you and your 

  G5                                            A5
bright baby blues, just a pause to cool the refrain.

                     F5
And you said were satisfied, that this body just weighted the 
  C5                                                G5
tide. And that you missed him sometimes, but you said it's all right, its just a 
whole lot harder alone.

A5 C5 F5 x 3  G5

Chorus:
    C5                    G5                                A5
But I wish you knew her now. She?s the better side of me now. 

                      F5                             C5
I?m doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see 
                 G5                           A5    
like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you 
              F5
looked just like, it was 1930 that night.


A5                                F5
 But hear the days will eat you alive, but I won?t give in 

  C5                                 G5
tonight. You said its not worth my time, and not to regard 

    A5                                      F5
them. And not to settle just for piece of mind, I could wait 

            C5                         G5             A5
it out all night, If I just keep breathing  [sigh]  But Mary,

               F5                                        C5
 I found the sound, and if this heart keeps pouring it out,

                                   G5
The glory hasn't come, and it's probably gonna fade, like a

                        A5                         F5
tattoo that hides this shame. But reasons always fade.

                         C5
The pain gives out some day. So I?m saying my goodbyes to your

 G5                                      A5  C5 F5
deep blue eyes, cause I don?t know how say,     to stay still 

         A5 C5 F5                     A5 C5 F5  G5
in the pain.     Stay still in the pain.

[Chorus]

Interlude:

C5  F5  C5  F5 (picking)


           C5           G5            A5
And if I recall the last thing you said to me, before it broke 

C5       G5                   F5
up. Before it took you from me.

           C5         G5            A5            F5
You said I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your 

C5  G5        A5          F5
name just escapes me tonight. 
(Nobody does it like you anymore)
