Emaj7

[Verse 1]
Emaj7           F#m                               Emaj7
Mary packed her bags and left home on a Christmas      Eve
    F#m                                    Emaj7   F#m
For sea soaked skies and dashing lads with cars
   Emaj7            F#m                             Emaj7
An actress orphaned by the social constructs of her      art school
  F#m                      Emaj7
A victim of their esoteric rule
      F#m                                 Emaj7   F#m
So pretentious that she almost thought it cool

But all you'd hear is

[Chorus]
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la

[Verse 2]
Emaj7         F#m                               Emaj7
Purpose was a vague ideal that she would always      talk on
         F#m                                  Emaj7
Till she fell in love with the salesman from TV
          F#m                                Emaj7   F#m
Yeah, she fell in love with a salesman from TV

While all of Hollywood sang

[Chorus]
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la

[Bridge]
Emaj7
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emaj7
Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs
     F#m
In a collared shirt

She thought it wouldn't hurt
Emaj7
Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes
     F#m
In a collared shirt

I thought it couldn't hurt

Emaj7
Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this
          F#m
It really f**ked with me, it really f**ked with me
Emaj7
California eyes are a death witch from design
           F#m
You really f**ked with me

[Outro]
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la
E
La, la la la la
            F#m
La la la la la, la la
E
La, la la la la
            A            E       Emaj7
La la la la la, la la
