Noah and the Whale – Mary (Guitar)

       E                  A
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather

E                     A
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever

       E                       A
On the back of a rock that you picked up on the way.

            E                A
And in that perfect moment I nearly ruined it,

   E                     A
By saying I love you And nearly meaning it

    E                A
But you know I would never waste those words

          B 
Oh when I last saw Mary,

    A                        E
She lied and said it was her birthday

          B 
Oh when I last saw Mary,

    A                        E
She lied and said it was her birthday

             E                      A
But then she tried to kiss me and I said "Don't Bother

E                        A
You know we don't really love one another

    E                 A
And there's no use in burning out this flame

       E                              A
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict

    E                      A
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked

     E                            A
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear.

            B                      A    E
And I said "Please don't lie to me Ma - ry"

            B                      A    E
And I said "Please don't lie to me Ma - ry"

        B
I said "Please don't lie

      A               E
Oh it makes me cry in bed"

        B
I said "Please don't lie

      A               E
Oh it makes me cry in bed"

        B
I said "Please don't lie

      A               E
Oh it makes me cry in bed"

              B
And she said "Shut your mouth

               A                   E
You don't know what you're talking about"

              B
And she said "Shut your mouth

               A                   E
You don't know what you're talking about"

              B
And she said "Shut your mouth

               A                   E
You don't know what you're talking about"
