(play this once for each of the following lines)
A5 B5 C5 F5 G5
This life that I've created will be the death of me
A5 B5 C5 F5 G5
This lighter and these papers will tell me who I'm supposed to be
A5 B5 C5 F5 G5
These words that I've been saying will be forgotten by next week
A5 B5 C5 F5 G5
I'm in the habit of getting kinda faded and I'm feeling kinda jaded oh
[Chorus]
A E G F
Mary Jane why won't you, why won't you leave my brain
A E G F
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
A E G F
Mary Jane yeah ooh
A E G F
My mama don't like you, but I do
A5 G5 F5
My mama don't like you, but I do
[Verse]
A5 B5 C5 F5 G5
A5 B5 C5
A problem shared is a problem halved they say
F5 G5
I love that girl, can't wait 'til she's passed my way
A5 B5 C5
A face to know, a place to go
F5
Yeah she offers me both
G5
But I'm feeling all this hatred oh ah
[Chorus]
A E G F
Mary Jane why won't you, why won't you leave my brain
A E G F
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
A E G F
Mary Jane yeah ooh
A E G F
My mama don't like you, but I do
A5 G5 F5
My mama don't like you, but I do
[Bridge]
A G
When the light starts to fade
F C E
Don't want my confidant to go away
A G
Gotta find release, gotta find relief
F C E
Gotta find some ease somewhere inside I believe ah
A5 G5
But then it gets so hard to breathe, oh it burns
F5
And it's time for someone else to get what they need from her
[Chorus]
A E G F
Mary Jane why won't you, why won't you leave my brain
A E G F
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
A E G F
Mary Jane yeah ooh
A E G F
My mama don't like you, but I do
A5 G5 F5
My mama don't like you, but I do
