Fmaj7                             Em7
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I could've sworn
Fmaj7                                     Em7
That the kiss that was meant truly for me is leaving me torn
Fmaj7                                     Em7
How can love be so kind and so gentle and turn and be so cold
    Fmaj7                              Em7
And why must my arms feel so empty for what my heart still holds


[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Mary how could you go
Em7
Around and hurt me so
Fmaj7
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
Em7
But I just can't seem to, baby
Fmaj7
Mary how could you go
Em7
Around and hurt me so
Fmaj7
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
Em7
But I just can't seem to, baby


[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                                       Em7
Now was there something I could've done to change this outcome here
Fmaj7                                    Em7
As if I blinked my eyes and suddenly she up and disappeared
Fmaj7                                      Em7
How can love escape your grasp without you ever letting go
Fmaj7                             Em7
And until she returns to my offer I may never know


[Hook]
Fmaj7
Mary how could you go
Em7
Around and hurt me so
Fmaj7
I've tried so hard to please you baby
Em7
But I just can't seem to baby
Fmaj7
Mary how could you go
Em7
Around and hurt me so
Fmaj7
I've tried so hard to please you baby
Em7
But I just can't seem to baby
