Mary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line
A
Any day now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time
A
And I know I'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine
A
We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time
F#m E D
Its not far from here. Mary comes and goes. Drifting through the
F#m E D
scenery of shallow days below. And then as everybody knows you follow
A
trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw
A
Mary-Jaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance.
F#m E D
Its not far from here. Mary waves hello. Smiling though she's

sinking in the shallow days below
Bm D F#m
I can't find the way out of here, out on the road again
Bm D F#m
I'm much much too concerned about Mary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and
Bm D F#m
I like what she said, but not what it means. She leaves me drowning through the
Bm D F#m E
shallow days, down below
A
I know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
A
People stair at Mary-Jaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her
A
And any day now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time
A
And Mary-Jaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time
F#m E D
Not too far from here. Mary turns to go. Smiling while the
F#m E D
waltz begins to dancin down the road, hey, hey
Bm D F#m
Hey hey Mr. Freedom, what are we supposed to think?
Bm D F#m
Cause I'm a very tiny person, and it worries me, out all alone again and

shallow days way down below
