Cmaj7           Dm                               Cmaj7
Mary packed her bags and left home on a Christmas      Eve

    Dm                                    Cmaj7   Dm
For sea soaked skies and dashing lads with cars

   Cmaj7            Dm                             Cmaj7
An actress orphaned by the social constructs of her      art school

  Dm                      Cmaj7
A victim of their esoteric rule

      Dm                                 Cmaj7   Dm
So pretentious that she almost thought it cool

But all you'd hear is [Chorus]

C
La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

C
La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7         Dm                               Cmaj7
Purpose was a vague ideal that she would always      talk on

         Dm                                  Cmaj7
Till she fell in love with the salesman from TV

          Dm                                Cmaj7   Dm
Yeah, she fell in love with a salesman from TV

While all of Hollywood sang [Chorus]

C
La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

C
La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

[Bridge]

Cmaj7
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Cmaj7
Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs

     Dm
In a collared shirt

She thought it wouldn't hurt

Cmaj7
Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes

     Dm
In a collared shirt

I thought it couldn't hurt

Cmaj7
Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this

          Dm
It really fucked with me, it really fucked with me

Cmaj7
California eyes are a death witch from design

           Dm
You really fucked with me

La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

C
La, la la la la

            Dm
La la la la la, la la

C
La, la la la la

            F            C       Cmaj7
La la la la la, la la
