Standard (EADGBE)
Intro chords
And when those thoughts won't come
I know that the shakes will
And I've got no gun to my weary head
Hell I couldn't even hold the barrel still
Everybody loves a catch 22
Damned if you don't, son damned if you do
Outside its another day that I gotta make it thru
Well I know that I said that itd be all right
Yeah, its just going to take a little while
Im tryin to wait with the patience of Job
Its like busting down a prison using a broken file
To each his own, and so on
Think each of us might yeah we might own the wrong one
Yeah there might have been some constant cryin
Is just trying to have some fun
Chorus
Mary save me cause I'm sinkin'
Won't you please throw me a line
Mary save me cause I'm sinkin'
Mary I'm runnin out of time
They say hope springs eternal
Well I say eternity it springs up hope
It can overload my fevered mind
Then its gonna go looking for some ways to cope
So Ive found the bottle or it found me
Tried to turn my future into history
Can anybody hear, can anybody see
