    G                    C
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heavens
G                        C
your old charlie and mary hold forever
G                        C                     G              C
on the back of the rock that you picked up on the way
G                               C
in that perfect moment i nearly ruined it
G                               C
saying I loved you and nearly meaning it
G                    C                G         C
and you know what we never waste those words
D                          C                   G                G
but when i last saw mary she lied and said it was her birthday
D                          C                   G                G
oh when i last saw mary she lied and said it was her birthday
