Dm              C         Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving

                   C        G
Oh I can't let you into my life

        Dm            C      Dm                            C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a

G    A7
wife

       Dm
When I met I met you for pleasure

                      C            G
And the good times of running around

         Dm            C         Dm
Then you seemed to be so understanding

                             C          G         A7
>From the weight that's  been draggin me down

    Dm             C              Dm
The good times are coming between us

                         C              G
Though you  helped me I'm carrying   my load

         Dm         C           Dm                            C
And I've never felt more like a lover  but I'm running  right off the

G  A7
road

      Dm        C         Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving

                   C        G
Oh I can't let you into my life

        Dm            C      Dm                            C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a

G   A7
wife

        Dm          C         Dm
Oh it's nothing you said  or invited

                      C            G
And it's nothing  you did that was wrong

     Dm     C         Dm                    C            G         A7
Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong

      Dm        C         Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving

                   C        G
Oh I can't let you into my life

        Dm            C      Dm                            C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a

G   A7     Dm
wife
