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
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:

Chorus 2:

Mary Mary quite contrary

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

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

Jack burned out on booze and pills,

And Mary had a little lamb,
G        A         D
Mary just don't give a damn no more
