Verse 1:
Am Bm/A
Everytime I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Am7 Bm/A
someone calls on me
Am Bm/A
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse and curse
Am7 Bm/A
those faults in me
E A E7 A
And then along comes Mary
E A E7
And does she wanna give me kicks and be my steady chick
A E A D G
And give me pick of memories
B E B E B
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations
E A
Noone ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
F/D D
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

Verse 2:
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks whose sickness
is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes
at who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she wanna set 'em free and let 'em see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch of hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Am Bm/A Am7 Bm/A
[recorder solo over intro]
Verse 3:
And when the morning of the warning's passed the gassed and flaccid
kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songs are left unsung
and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she wanna see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make them realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Coda:
Am Bm/A
Am7 Bm/A
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Am Bm/A
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Am7 Bm/A
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Am
Sweet as the punch
