Em7 Gmaj7 G A7sus4 Bobby, I hope that you can find yourself through. D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 There's so much that I wish to know, D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 and I have to do this on my own D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 and I hope that you can understand.

D - G - Gmaj7 - Em7 (keep strumming Em7 for a couple more beats) D G Gmaj7 Em7 There's so much time has passed since that day D G Gmaj7 Em7 and Mary stopped writing years ago D G Gmaj7 Em7 and Bobby never took his music on the road. D G Gmaj7 Em7 Guess he never really gave up hope. D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 Now Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 got a Ph.D., she is an independent business woman D G Gmaj7 climbing up the corporate ladder Em7 A7sus4 though it really don't seem to matter, D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 she is lonely beyond belief. Em7 Gmaj7 G So one day she went home A7sus4 Em7 Gmaj7 G A7sus4 looking for the only love she'd ever known. D G Gmaj7 Em7 She found him once again, D G Gmaj7 Em7 playing a circuit at the Holiday Inn, A7sus4 D G Gmaj7 still singing the song about the one he lost Em7 long ago. A7sus4 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 Just goes to show, you never know. Em7 Gmaj7 G She took his hand in hers A7sus4 Em7 Gmaj7 G A7sus4 not everything she had planned and rehearsed. D Em7 G She said, "Bobby, marry me. A7sus4 D Em7 G We could live in a apartment building with a window view. A7sus4 D Em7 We could take in movies on the weekend G A7sus4 while planning our vacation. D Em7 Take a honeymoon by the sea. G A7sus4 D G Gmaj7 Em7 Oh Bobby, won't you just marry me? A7sus4 D G Gmaj7 Em7 Won't you just marry me? A7sus4 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 Oh please, marry me." D - G - Gmaj7 - Em7 (keep strumming Em7 for a couple more beats) D G Gmaj7 Em7 It was a fine day in the fifth grade D G Gmaj7 Em7 when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school
