[Verse 1]
Em A
Oh Mary where you going?
Em A
Are you leaving for a day?
D G
I know that you'??re going someplace
Bm Em
Just where I couldn'??t say
Em A Em A
Are you wishing your last penny to the bottom of a well?
D G
Is there something you believe in?
Bm Em
If there is I couldn'??t tell
[Chorus]
A
I'??m standing on a corner
A
I'??m standing on a line
G D G
That Mary she'??s just staying on my mind
A
See you on the TV
A
I can see you on the phone
G D G
I can see you high upon that throne
D Em G
A captive to memories you don'??t own
Em A D G Bm
But you play them back time and time again when you'??re alone
Em A Bm A# A
It'??s not a pleasant thing but I know it'??s how it goes
[Verse 2]
Em A
So Mary where you going?
Em A
Oh how could I pretend
D G
That nothing ever changes
Bm Em
That was now and this is then
Em A Em A
Yeah, I think you'??re becoming an even brighter star
D G Bm Em
Oh won'??t you keep on shining no matter where you are?
A
But so many things will try to drag you down
G D G
They will turn your song into an empty sound
A
See the judge commission just based upon a whim
G D G
To some it'??s law to others it'??s a sin
D Em G
To many more it'??s a tangled mess we're in
Em A D G Bm
But I think it'??s true that when you are at the end
Em A Bm A# A
You're closest then to where you once began
