[Intro]
F# B
[Verse 1]
If F#you ain't got two kids by 21,
you're F#probably gonna die alone,
B at least that's what tradition told you.
And F#it don't matter if you don't believe,
come Sunday morning you best Bbe there
in the Bfront row, like you're s'posed to.
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7Same hurt in every hF#eart.
BSame trailer, different C#park.
[Chorus]
BMama's hooked on Mary Kay,
BBrother's hooked on Mary Jane
and F#Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
BMary Mary, quite contrary.
BWe get bored so we get married
and F#just like dust we C#settle in this G#m7town.
On this Bbroken merry go 'F#round and round and C#round we go,
G#m7where it stops nBobody knows F#
and it ain't C#slowin' down, this merry go F#round.
[Verse 2]
F#We think the first time's good enough,
So we hold on to high school loveB,
BSay we won't end up like our parents.
F#Tiny little boxes in a row,
ain't what you want, it's what you knoBw,
Just Bhappy in the shoes you're wearin'.
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7Same checks we're always F#cashin',
Bto buy a little more disC#traction.
[Chorus]
BMama's hooked on Mary Kay,
BBrother's hooked on Mary Jane
and F#Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
BMary Mary, quite contrary.
BWe get bored so we get married
and F#just like dust we C#settle in this G#m7town.
On this Bbroken merry go 'F#round and round and C#round we go,
G#m7where it stops nBobody knows F#
and it ain't C#slowin' down, this merry go F#round
[Bridge]

[Outro]
F#Jack and Jill went up the hill,
F#Jack burned out on booze and pills,
and BMary had a little lamb,
Mary just don't give a damn no F#more.
