E     A     E               B          E
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

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

[Chorus]
E     A     E               B          E
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

| E A | E | B | E | (x2)

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

[Chorus]
E     A     E               B          E
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

| E A | E | B | E | (x2)

[Verse 3]
C#m        A             C#m              B
I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July
C#m                     B
I'll never miss another one of those
A               B
I'll be by your side

| E A | E | B | E | (x3)

[Verse 3]
E             A         E
If my foolish heart was wrong
                              B
This truly was never meant to be
      E                      A               E
Well, I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars
    B                  E
And love you as much as me

[Chorus] (x2)
E     A     E               A          E
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?
