C  G  C

Verse 1:
C
On the east coast she's living
                  G
Like a queen by a throne.
           G7
And when I drive there
               G           C
I drive to the places she goes.
                 F                      C           F
The boys on the island, the men at the docks
                 C                            G
Say "Give her my pleas, if she comes back to me
                        C
She'll get anything she wants".

Verse 2:
C
She was my dear Mary
                  G7
But I lost her in May.
               G
She told me it hurt her,
                                C
To know the words she'd have to say.
                      F                             C          F
Like "The world is so funny, and our love it ain't real
                            C                          G
You got the passion in your head but it's not in this bed
                         C
It's just a way we can't feel".


Verse 3:
C
Oh, but I can't stop thinking
                       G
No, nothing ever slows down.
            G7
If I didn't love her,
     G                   C
Then why is she always around?
                      F                               C         F
When I wake up in the morning, to when the lights go out
                  C                      G
She's there in my head, I'm alone in my bed
                 C
She's off on the town.


Verse 4:
C
When I got home this evening
                       G
There was a note on my door.
                  G7
It read "You poor soul,
                        G      C
You better not think of me anymore.
                     F                            C          F
Well I know you been tracking, my each and every move
               C                          G
But baby we're done, there's no dance no song
                       C
I'm just a someone you knew".


Verse 5:
C
Please help me, dear doctor
                         G
Tell me what it is I can do.
               G7
I want to live healthy,
                   G           C
Is there something that I can use?
                     F                     C           F
Well this happened before, and she was my nurse
                C                         G
She asked me my name, she helped with my pain
              C
But now it is worse.
                                         G
She asked me my name, she helped with my pain
              F                  C
But now it is wor-se
