Verse 1:
D                    Dmaj7     D
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
                Dmaj7      G/B
You're probably gonna die alone
                Em13                G/B  Em13
At least that's what tradition told you

D                   Dmaj7        D
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
            Dma7             G/B
Come Sunday morning you best be there
        Em13                  G/B         Em13
In the front row, like you're s'posed to

Pre-Chorus 1:
Gm/A#                    D Dsus2
Same hurt in every heart
Gm/A#                   Asus4 A
Same trailer, different park

Chorus:
G
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
G
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
    D                                   Dsus2
And Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
G
We get bored so we get married
D                      Dmaj7/C#       Bm11
And just like dust we settle in this town
        G                D                     Dmaj7/C#
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go,
Bm11             A     G
Where it stops nobody knows,
G
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round

Interlude:
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7

Verse 2:
D            Dmaj7             D
We think the first time's good enough,
           Dmaj7             G/B
So we hold on to high school love,
             Em13           G/B      Em13
Say we won't end up like our parents

D           Dmaj7      D
Tiny little boxes in a row,
      Dmaj7                        G/B
Ain't want you want it's what you know,
           Em13               G/B     Em13
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'

Pre-Chorus 2:
Gm/A#                      D    Dsus2
Same checks we're always cashin'
Gm/A#                   Asus4    A
To buy a little more distraction

Chorus:
       G
'Cause Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
G
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
    D                                   Dsus2

On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go,

Where it stops nobody knows,
G
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round

Mary Mary quite contrary
G
We're so bored until we're buried
D                     Dmaj7/C#        Dm11
And just like dust we settle in this town
         G               D    Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
On this broken merry go 'round
D        Dmaj7   D Dmaj7
Merry go 'round

Outro:
D
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Dmaj7/C#
Jack burned out on booze and pills,
Bm11
And Mary had a little lamb,
G               A                 D
Mary just don't give a damn no more
