G    D        C                D 
Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter
G            D         Am              D
These things happen in life all the time
G        D         Am                C 
Tell her that, one day we'll both be laughing
G             C            G           C
I'm sure it's nothing, how could it be something
G                 C        D     G
When I can't even hold her in my arms
G    D     C                   D
Tell Mary, sometimes when it's raining
G         D         Am        D
Those are days when I'm at my best
G         D     Am           C
I let the water wash away my feelings
G                 C           G             C
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
G                 C        D          G
When I can't even hold her against my breast
Am Bm    C            D
No Mary, life is not simple
Am   Bm     C       D
Once it was in your arms
Am            Bm
We shared the day and
C               D
Nighttime would find us where
G         C             D     G
No one or nothing could do us harm
G    D     C                D
Tell Mary, sometimes life is dreaming
G        D           Am               D
Till you wake up and find you're not there
G         D       Am       C
All your thoughts offer no protection
G                 C            G             C 
I'm sure thery're nothing, how could they be something
G                    C            D           G
When I can't see the wind blowing through her hair

SOLO

Am Bm    C            D
No Mary, life is not simple
Am   Bm     C       D
Once it was in your arms
Am            Bm
We shared the day and
C               D
Nighttime would find us where
G         Am         D           G
No one or nothing could do us harm
G    D         C              D
Tell Mary, I'm tired, but I'm happy
G         D         Am       D 
I've been down, but not this time
G      D          Am         C
All my dreams are easily forgotten
G                C            G             C    
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
       G              C   
When I can't even see her 
G                C            G             C    
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
       G              C          D       G
When I can't even see her when I open my eyes
G    D        C              D            G
Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter
