I was standing under palm trees waiting for you         (yeah) 
G                    C                    D 
You had a vulnerable heart and a smoking 42 
C            D                G                C 
You said I'd changed but I've always been this way 
C              D 
Maybe I was to blame?

You were the youngest Mary of three            (three) 
G                           C               D         
Shattered by the man and the pack of authority 
C                           D 
We'll probably burn out and fail 
G                                 C 
Well at least I was a marvellous failure 
C                   D  
You'll be like the rest, a nonsensical benign success     (OH!)
