      A
 Mary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line
     A
 Any day now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time
            A
 And I know I'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine
                     A
 We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time
 

                  F#m    E              D
 Its not far from here.  Mary comes and goes.  Drifting through the 
 F#m        E              D
 scenery of shallow days below. And then as everybody knows you follow 
 A
 trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw 
       A
 Mary-Jaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance. 
 

                  F#m     E            D
 Its not far from here.   Mary waves hello. Smiling though she's 
 F#m            E              D 
 sinking in the shallow days below
 Bm                    D          F#m
      I can't find the way out of here, out on the road again 
     Bm               D            F#m
 I'm much much too concerned about Mary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and
 Bm                   D                     F#m
      I like what she said, but not what it means. She leaves me drowning through the 
 Bm             D              F#m    E
 shallow days,    down below
           

                  A
 I know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
                      A
 People stair at Mary-Jaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her
         A
 And any day now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time
          A
 And Mary-Jaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time
 

                  F#m    E             D 
 Not too far from here.  Mary turns to go. Smiling while the 
 F#m             E                D
 waltz begins to dancin down the road, hey, hey
 Bm          D                 F#m              
 Hey hey Mr. Freedom , what are we supposed to think?
             Bm        D              F#m
 Cause I'm a very tiny person, and it worries me, out all alone again and
 Bm                   D                    F#m
      I like what she said but not what it means, she leaves me drowning in the 
 Bm            D                 F#m  
 shallow days      way down below
 

                A                                                         D
 Hey, yeah yeah yeah...ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah yeah yeah yeah
                A                                                     D
 I'm sorry. She said "I know, its not the kind of thing you want. I'm falling, falling 
                      A
