[Verse]
F#
If you ain't got two kids by 21
D#m
You're probably gonna die alone
F#
Least that's what tradition told you
F# F#7
And it don't matter if you don't believe
Come Sunday morning, you best be there in the
D#m
front row like you're supposed to
Bm F#
Same hurt in every heart
Bm C#
Same trailer, different park
[Chorus]
B
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
B7
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
F# F#7
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
B
Mary, Mary quite contrary
B7
We get bored, so, we get married
F# D#m
Just like dust, we settle in this town
B F# F#7
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
D#m F# Bm
Where it stops nobody knows
and it ain't slowin' down
F# F#7
This merry go 'round
[Verse]
F#
We think the first time's good enough
D#m
So, we hold on to high school love
B
Sayin' we won't end up like our parents
F#
Tiny little boxes in a row
Ain't what you want, it's what you know
B Bm
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'
Bm F#
Same checks we're always cashin'
Bm C# . . . B
to buy a little more distraction
[Chorus]
B
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
B7
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
F# F#7
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
B
Mary, Mary quite contrary
B7
We get bored, so, we get married
F# D#m
Just like dust, we settle in this town
B F# F#7
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
D#m F# Bm
Where it stops nobody knows
and it ain't slowin' down
F# F#7
This merry go 'round
[Solo]
F# F# B
[Bridge]
B
Mary, Mary quite contrary
B7
We're so bored until we're buried
F# D#m
Just like dust, we settle in this toooown
Bm F#
On this broken merry go 'round
Bm
merry go 'round
F#
Jack and Jill went up the hill
F#7
Jack burned out on booze and pills
D#m
And Mary had a little lamb
F#
Mary just don't give a damn no more
