G    D        C                D 
Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter 
G            D         Am              D 
These things happen in life all the time 
G        D         Am                C 
Tell her that, one day we'll both be laughing 
G             C            G           C 
I'm sure it's nothing, how could it be something 
G                 C        D     G 
When I can't even hold her in my arms 
G    D     C                   D 
Tell Mary, sometimes when it's raining 
G         D         Am        D 
Those are days when I'm at my best 
G         D     Am           C 
I let the water wash away my feelings 
G                 C           G             C 
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something 
G                 C        D          G 
When I can't even hold her against my breast 
Am Bm    C            D 
No Mary, life is not simple 
Am   Bm     C       D 
Once it was in your arms 
Am            Bm 
We shared the day and 
C               D 
Nighttime would find us where 
G         C             D     G 
No one or nothing could do us harm 
G    D     C                D 
Tell Mary, sometimes life is dreaming 
G        D           Am               D 
Till you wake up and find you're not there 
G         D       Am       C 
All your thoughts offer no protection 
G                 C            G             C 
I'm sure thery're nothing, how could they be something 
G                    C            D           G 
When I can't see the wind blowing through her hair 

Am Bm    C            D 
No Mary, life is not simple 
Am   Bm     C       D 
Once it was in your arms 
Am            Bm 
We shared the day and 
C               D 
Nighttime would find us where 
G         Am         D           G 
No one or nothing could do us harm 
G    D         C              D 
Tell Mary, I'm tired, but I'm happy 
G         D         Am       D 
I've been down, but not this time 
G      D          Am         C 
All my dreams are easily forgotten 
G                C            G             C 
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something 
       G              C 
When I can't even see her 
G                C            G             C 
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something 
       G              C          D       G 
When I can't even see her when I open my eyes 
G    D        C              D            G 
Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter
