D MajorD G+G

  D MajorD
If you ain’t got two kids by 21,
your probably gonna die alone
G+G
 at least that’s what tradition told you.
  D MajorD
And it don’t matter if you don’t believe,
               G+G
come sunday morning you best be there
in the front row, like your s’posed to.

E minor 7Em7        D MajorD
Same hurt in every heart.
G+G            A augmentedA
Same trailer, different park.

G+G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
  D MajorD
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G+G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
  D MajorD         A augmentedA       E minor 7Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
    G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA      E minor 7Em7
On this broken Merry go ’round and round and round we go, where it stops
 G+G     D MajorD
nobody knows
       A augmentedA              D MajorD
and it ain’t slowin down, this merry go round

D MajorD
We think the first time’s good enough,
                G+G
So we hold on to highschool love,
Say we won’t end up like our parents.

D MajorD
Tiny little boxes in a row,
                   G+G
ain’t what you want it’s what you know,
Just happy in the shoes your wearin.

E minor 7Em7           D MajorD
Same checks we’re always cashin,
G+G            A augmentedA
to buy a little more distraction.

G+G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
  D MajorD
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G+G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
  D MajorD         A augmentedA       E minor 7Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
    G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA      E minor 7Em7
On this broken Merry go ’round and round and round we go, where it stops
 G+G     D MajorD
nobody knows
       A augmentedA              D MajorD
and it ain’t slowin down, this merry go round


G+G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we’re so bored until we’re burried
  D MajorD         A augmentedA       E minor 7Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
    G+G        D MajorD  A augmentedA  E minor 7Em7
On this broken Merry go ’round
 G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA E minor 7Em7 G+G
Merry Go ’Round

D MajorD
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Jack burned out on booze and pills,
G+G
and mary had a little lamb,
                D MajorD
mary just don’t give a damn no more
