B      C#m   E                          F#                  
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

[Verse 1]
B                 C#m                 E              F#  
I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to
B                C#m               E                      F#  
Now I'm sitting here going crazy trying to crawl back to you

[Chorus]
B      C#m   E                          F#  
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

[Verse 2]
B                          C#m                  
But I was smart enough to come to my senses
E           F# 
Be who you need me to be
B                   C#m        
And if you say that I'm too late
E                 F# 
I'll curl up and die in misery

[Chorus]
B      C#m   E                          F#    
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

[Verse 3]
B          C#m             E             F# 
I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July
B                       C#m             
I'll never miss another one of those
E                F#
I'll be by your side
B               C#m            
If my foolish heart was wrong
      E               F# 
This truly was never meant to be
B                              C#m  
Well, I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars
      E                 F# 
And love you as much as me

[Chorus][x3]
B      C#m   E                          F#    
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?
