B Oh when I last saw Mary, AE She lied and said it was her birthday B Oh when I last saw Mary, AE She lied and said it was her birthday
EA EA EA EA
EA But then she tried to kiss me and I said "Don't Bother EA You know we don't really love one another EA And there's no use in burning out this flame
EA
EA Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict EA She said I love you and it suddenly clicked EA That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear.
BAE And I said "Please don't lie to me Ma - ry" BAE And I said "Please don't lie to me Ma - ry"
