Tom: A
A
I put on my finest summer dress
A
So light and thin, it was my best
D Bm
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
A
I went out to face the wilderness
E D A
I went out to face the wilderness
[Verse 2]
A
Men in hats, boys on bikes
A
Perfect girls, baby dykes
D Bm
Superstars, blighted ones
A
I went out to face them one by one
E D A
I went out to face them, one by one
[Chorus]
G D/F# G A
Goodbye Maryann
G D A
As you turn to watch me
G D/F# G A
Don't cry Maryann
Bm C#m D E
And don't try to stop me
[Verse 3]
A
Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright
A
Where sacred secrets sail like kites
D Bm
We've been sleeping girl all our lives
A
And we never lived no we just survived
E D A
And we never lived. We just survived
[Verse 4]
A
I'll take my heart, I'll take my key
A
I'll find out who, who could care for me
D Bm
Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires
F#m A
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars
E D A
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
[Chorus]
G D/F# G A
Goodbye Maryann
G D A
As you turn to watch me
G D/F# G A
Don't cry Maryann
Bm C#m D E
And don't try to stop me
[Verse 5]
A
I put on my finest summer dress
A
So light and thin, torn at the chest
D
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
A
I went out to face the wilderness
E D A
I went out to face the wilderness
