Kacey Musgraves – Merry Go Round (Ukulele)

   F#
If you ain't got two kids by 21,

       F#
you're probably gonna die alone,

B
 at least that's what tradition told you.

    F#
And it don't matter if you don't believe,

                             B
come Sunday morning you best be there

       B
in the front row, like you're s'posed to.

G#m7                F#
Same hurt in every heart.

B                       C#
Same trailer, different park.

B
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay,

B
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane

    F#
and Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.

B
Mary Mary, quite contrary.

B
We get bored so we get married

    F#                C#             G#m7
and just like dust we settle in this town.

        B                F#                  C#          
On this broken merry go 'round and round and round we go, 

G#m7            B           F#
where it stops nobody knows

             C#                          F#
and it ain't slowin' down, this merry go round.

F#
We think the first time's good enough,

                                 B
So we hold on to high school love,

B
Say we won't end up like our parents.

F#
Tiny little boxes in a row,

                                      B
ain't what you want, it's what you know,

     B
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.

G#m7                     F#
Same checks we're always cashin',

B                       C#
to buy a little more distraction.

B
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay,

B
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane

    F#
and Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.

B
Mary Mary, quite contrary.

B
We get bored so we get married

    F#                C#             G#m7

        B                F#                  C#

G#m7            B           F#
where it stops nobody knows

             C#                          F#
and it ain't slowin' down, this merry go round

B
Mary Mary, quite contrary,

B
we're so bored until we're buried

    F#                 C#           G#m7
and just like dust we settle in this town.

        B                F#    C#   G#m7
On this broken merry go 'round

B         F#   C# G#m7 B
Merry go 'round

F#
Jack and Jill went up the hill,

F#
Jack burned out on booze and pills,

    B
and Mary had a little lamb,

                               F#
Mary just don't give a damn no more.
