Oh the
C F
cold wet wind blew over the heather
C F
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
C
On the back of a rock
F C
That you picked up on the way
C
And in that perfect moment
F
I nearly ruined it
C
By saying I love you
F
And nearly meaning it
C F C
But you know I would never waste those words
G
Oh when I last saw Mary
F C
She lied and said it was her birthday
G
Oh when I last saw Mary
F C
She lied and said it was her birthday
(C,F,C,F,C,F,C,F)
But then she
C
Tried to kiss me
F
And I said don't bother
C F
You know we don't really love one another
C
And there's no use
F C F
In burning out this flame
C F
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict
C F
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked
C F C
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear
And I said
G F,C
Please don't lie to me Mary
And I said
G F,C
Please don't lie to me Mary
I said
C
Please don't lie
Em F
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
C
Please don't lie
Em F
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
C
Please don't lie
Em F
Oh it makes me cry in bed
And she said
G
Shut your mouth
F C
You don't know what you're talking about
Oh she said
G
Shut your mouth
F C
You don't know what you're talking about
(C,F,C,F,C,F,G,C)
