Oh Maria
Artist: Sam Roberts
Album: Love at the End of the World
Chorded by: Pete Daley
Capo 3
Em A
You could never compromise
Em A
I could never satisfy you at all
D G
Always thought you had gentle eyes
D G Em
Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
A
Before I was a young man
Em A
Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
D G
The years don't seem to touch you
D G A G
It makes me wonder what you sold
Chorus
G
Oh my Maria
F#m Em D A A G
I'll never change you, I know...I know
G
I need to see you
F#m Em Bm
That never changes, oh no
Em A
You lived on the 7th floor
Em A
It was far from heaven but it meant more
D G
You said things that were hard to ignore
D G
My conversation makes you bored
Em A
You always hated wedding bells
Em A
You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
D G
Life is for the taking
Em Bm A G
Life is for the taking...
Chorus
Bridge
A D
So how's it going to be, Maria?
A
Will it be you and me? Or will it be
Em
Five more years of counting my tears
Em
Five more years of living in fear
A
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
Em
And my heart's burning out of control
Bm
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
D
Hey, hey, hey
Em D
This girl is leading me astray
Em A
Saw a pho-to-graph of you today
Em A
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
D G
And now I see that you made the front page
D G
Married for the money and you blew him away
Em A
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
Em A
You only had five words on your mind
D G
Life is for the taking
Em Bm A G
Life is for the taking
Chorus 2x
A D
I beg for my supper at night
A
If this is love then it don't feel right
Em
And my heart's burning out of control
Bm
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
D
Hey hey hey
Em D
This girl is leading me astray
D
Listen what I say
Em
This girl is leading me astray
