[Intro ]E  

     E 
She hates her job, loves her kids 

Bored with her husband 
                                        A 
Tired of the same old list of things to do 
                                  E 
So when the to-dos have all been done 
          B7 
She sits down at the kitchen table 
                     E               
And rolls herself a fat one 

E 
Smoke so sweet fills the air 

She maybe ought to crack a window 
                                    A 
But all she can do is stare at the paint 
                             E            
That's been peeling off the walls 
   B7                                                E 
A couple tokes and her troubles don't seem all that tall

You know life will let you down 
                     E                   
Love will leave you lonely 
B7                           A  B7             
Sometimes to only way to get by 
           E                              
Is to get high 

     E                                    
She laughs out loud at who she used to be 
                                         
A girl who'd a looked down on 
                             A           
A woman smoking weed in her kitchen 
                                   E     
Sometimes she misses them younger days 
            B7                             
Seeing the world through rose colored glasses 
                        E                
Instead of this purple haze

You know life will let you down 
                     E

Sometimes to only way to get by 
           E                              
Is to get high 

        E                                
So she tucks her kids in at night 
                                         
Kisses her husband, turns off the light 
             A                           
And talks to God 
                                           E 
Says: "Lord, help me accept what I can't change 
     B7                                    
But until I learn to do that 
                     E                    
Thanks for the Mary Jane"
