Db
She's got one hand wrapped in the rosary
Bbm
And the other one carrying the groceries

That she barely can buy, she barely gets by

Mary gets high, Mary goes, goes

Round and around in the black C-Class

With the man that she met at the underpass

'Cause her mama got sick, the bills came quick
Ab
But Mary don't, Mary don't, Mary don't quit

And no one sees the pain she keeps inside because

She still smiles when the times get hard

She still loves with a broken heart

Still tryna run away from the memories

But Mary can't hide, Mary can't cry

Mary's so tired, Mary's so
Db
So lost in her mind, but has big dreams

Small house, fast car, down on fifth street

But things changed in her life back at 15

Two grown men now inside doing 16

Mary ain't, Mary ain't the same
