 Dm  C                  G            G - Gadd11 - G                 
  Mary  cries out: for the  love of God 
 Dm       C                 G          G - Gadd11 - G                
  As she's  walking out of the  Laundromat 
 Dm       C                   G              G - Gadd11 - G          
  Down the  street and it's the  short way home 
 Dm      C                   G                        
  Feeling  special cause she's  so alone    But we know:
 Bb - F                  G             D                  
      The world's full of  lonely people      And it shows
 Bb - F                  G              Dm                 
      The world's full of  lonely people 
 Dm             C               G               G - Gadd11 - G       
  She shrugs her  coat off and un-  locks the door 
 Dm       C             G             G - Gadd11 - G                 
  Eats her  dinner on the  kitchen floor 
 Dm       C                 G         G - Gadd11 - G                 
  Writes a  poem and turns the  radio on 
 Dm    C                G                             
  Every  singer sings the  same old song    And it goes:
 Bb - F                 G              D                  
     The world's full of  lonely people        And it shows
 Bb - F                  G                              
      The world's full of  lonely

             Dm                                   
But when she  wanted me to go
         A/E             C *      Bb                      
She just    had to let it   show 
 A7                                               
 To bring me down 
       Dm                                         
if she   wanted me to leave
        A/E              C *       Bb                     
She just   wore it on her   sleeve 
 A7                     Dm      C - G - Gadd11 - G                       
  But at least, I was a-  round
