Steve Earle – Maria (Guitar)

E                    B
Used to be I was the object of affection

C#m     E     E7
In your eyes alone

A                               B
But now it seems your heart has found a new direction

           E          B          A
And you're leavin' me out in the cold

E                        B
If you're gonna break my heart go on and break it

C#m          E           E7
 No, I don't need you no more

A                   B
I tried so hard and now my will is breakin'

E        B    A
And baby even more

A
I still love you

E                   B
I remember when you used to make me happy

C#m            E       E7
Just to look into your eyes

A                       B
But lately every time I try you're lookin' past me

E     B          A
And I don't know why

E                           B
So leave me baby, you don't even gotta tell me

C#m      E     E7
 But I already know

A                       B
And you don't gotta goodbye, just walk on past me

E               B       A
I don't want to hurt no more

A
Not for you Maria

C#m       B
Any way I turn I know

        E             B      A
I could find a better way to lose

      E               B         A
Cos I just won't get along with you

     E        B        A
Even though I love you too, ah Maria

E                   B
I guess mama wasn't lyin' about the dangers

C#m               E         E7
That could hide inside ones heart

A                           B
We're better off if we just all remain strangers

 E         B         A
Stumblin' around the dark
