E5
Mary Jo, sitting alone
B5     
Drinking tea, on her own
    A5                             E5
She wants...I don't know what you want


E5
Mary Jo, living alone
B5
Drinking gin the telly's on
    A5
She Wants


                    E5            F#5
The night to follow day and back again
                    G#5
She doesn't want to sleep
               A5                E5
Well who could blame her if she wants?
                    F#5         G#5
The night to follow day and back again
                    B5
She doesn't want to sleep
               A5                 B5
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
               A5                 B5
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
               A5                   E5
Well who could blame her, if she's sleeping?


E5
Mary Jo, back with yourself
    B5                                     A5
For company, keep telling yourself you're young
             E5
It'll happen soon


E5
Mary Jo, no one can see
     B5
What you've been through
                       A5     
Now you've got love to burn


                    E5                  F#5
It's someone else's turn to go through Hell
                     G#5      A5
Now you can see them come from fifty yards
             E5
Yeah you can tell
                    F#5            G#5 
It's someone else's turn to take a fall
                    B5                A5
And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them
    B5                A5
The one who's strong enough to help them
    B5                A5                   E5
The one who's strong enough to help them all

       
C#5
Mary Jo, you're looking thin
B5
You're reading a book, "The State I Am In"
    A5                   E5
But oh, it doesn't help at all


C#5
What you want is a cigarette
      B5                              A5
And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull


                   E5            F#5
your life is never dull in your dreams
               G#5            A5                 E5
A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it
                   F#5          G#5
Your Life is never dull in your head
                B5              A5
A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
B5              A5
Women, and the men you left for
B5                 A5                E5     E../ fim
Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
