[Intro]
D Dsus2 x2
G G2 x2
[Verse]
D Dsus2
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
D Dsus2 G
Youre probably gonna die alone
G2 G G2
At least that's what tradition told you.
D Dsus2
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
D Dsus2 G
come sunday morning you best be there
G2 G G2
in the front row, like your s'posed to.
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm/A# Dsus2 D
Same hurt in every heart.
Gm/A# Asus4 A
Same trailer, different park.
[Chorus]
G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
D
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B
and just like dust we settle in this town.
G Dsus2 Dsus2/C#
On this broken Merry go 'round and round and round we go,
Dsus2/B Asus4 G
where it stops nobody knows
and it ain't slowin down, this merry go round
[Instrumental]
(D Dsus2 x2 G G2 x2)
[Verse]
D Dsus2
We think the first time's good enough,
D Dsus2 G
So we hold on to highschool love,
G2 G G2
Say we won't end up like our parents.
D Dsus2
Tiny little boxes in a row,
D Dsus2 G
ain't what you want it's what you know,
G2 G G2
Just happy in the shoes your wearin.
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm/A# Dsus2 D
Same checks we're always cashin,
Gm/A# Asus4 A
to buy a little more distraction.
[Chorus]
G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
D
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B
and just like dust we settle in this town.
G Dsus2 Dsus2/C#
On this broken Merry go 'round and round and round we go,
Dsus2/B Asus4 G
where it stops nobody knows
and it ain't slowin down, this merry go round
[Post-Chorus]
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we're so bored until we're burried
Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B
and just like dust we settle in this town.
G D Dsus2 D Dsus2
On this broken Merry go 'round
G G2 G G2
Merry Go 'Round
[Outro]

Jack burned out on booze and pills,
Dsus2/B
and mary had a little lamb,
G Asus4 Dsus2
