Verse 1:
Gm F     Eb
Oh play along, she wills it
Gm   F      Eb
  Oh Sunday came, Promised you'd tell her
Gm    F         Eb
  She sat up in bed, Answered your call dear
Gm        F          Eb
  Smeared purple and red


Chorus 1:
Bb                       Gm
You're gonna leave her tonight
                    F
She sat up with her eyes wide
                        Eb
You fell in love with a girl you knew and you've come to say goodbye
Bb                         Gm
  You're gonna leave her tonight
                F       Eb
Under a cheap July sky, Tell her, tell Mary


Verse 2:
Gm F       Eb
Af-ter the first touch, Her skirt boring
Gm          F        Eb
  Her voice deep and charming at first
Gm                        F                   Eb
  You could make her come back once in a while, If you painted a fresco
Gm                        F                      Eb
  There she'd be with her powder half falling off, So perfect from far


(Repeat Chorus 1)

Eb
Tell her to Mary


Bridge:
Bb             F/A            Gm             Eb
Meet me at the pictures Mary, Adam said that he was leaving (x2)
Eb     F Bb     F/A  Eb
          Bb
Meet me, Meet me,    you're gonna leave her tonight


Chorus 2: silent to distortion
Bb                       Gm
You're gonna leave her tonight
                    F
She sat up with her eyes wide
                        Eb
You fell in love with a girl you knew, with the girl you knew


(Repeat Chorus 1)

Tell her to Mary (x2)
