D MajorD          Dmaj7Dmaj7   D MajorD
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
        Dmaj7Dmaj7   G/BG/B
You're probably gonna die alone

In the front row, like you're s'posed to

Pre-Chorus 1:
Gm/A#          D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2

Same trailer, different park

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay

Mary Mary quite contrary,
G+G
We get bored so we get married
D MajorD           Dmaj7/C#    Bm11Bm11
And just like dust we settle in this town
    G+G        D MajorD           Dmaj7/C#
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go,
Bm11Bm11       A augmentedA   G+G
Where it stops nobody knows,

And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round

D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7       D MajorD
We think the first time's good enough,

So we hold on to high school love,
       Em13Em13      G/BG/B   Em13Em13
Say we won't end up like our parents

D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7   D MajorD
Tiny little boxes in a row,
   Dmaj7Dmaj7            G/BG/B
Ain't want you want it's what you know,
      Em13Em13        G/BG/B   Em13Em13
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'

Pre-Chorus 2:
Gm/A#           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2
Same checks we're always cashin'

To buy a little more distraction

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

Jack burned out on booze and pills,

And Mary had a little lamb,

Mary just don't give a damn no more
