[Chorus]
F#
Her name was Mary Jane,
A#m
She sang, like Etta James,
B F#
She came and went to easily.
F#
And it's strange, how times have changed,
A#m
I seen Mary yesterday,
B F#
and she, don't look the same to me.
[Verse]
F#
Baby what's the word?
A#m
I aint trying to kill your mockingbird.
B
I got scared and i started walking backwards.
And after i got home alone,
F#
I couldn't stop drunk dialing your cellular phone.
F#
And when you don't pick up, your hang up hurts.
A#m
I know i got caught with my hand up her skirt.
B
I'm into sandals with the candle light romance,
(
F#)\
I go to itunes, to download your slow jams.
[Verse]
F#
Typhoon, with the Thunder clap.
A#m
I fell in love with the girl in my summer class.
B \
She sat, right next to me,
(
F#)
And she made me tell the truth like ecstasy.
F# A#m
So, whoa, i gotta slow myself on down.
B F#
I've been in love before.
[Chorus]
F#
Her name was Mary Jane,
A#m
She sang, like Etta James,
B F#
She came and went to easily.
F#
And it's strange, how times have changed,
A#m
I seen Mary yesterday,
B F#
and she, don't look the same to me.
[Verse]
F#
Baby we can be my mellow lil lady.
A#m
Marijuana sunshine soul made crazy.
B
Why go back and forth like a maybe?
F#
You and i can flow and say i love sailing.
F#
Light brown elleby on Chip and dale.
A#m
Skin say i'm fat but i'm skinny as a rail.
B
Pet snail, i got a freak on her knees.
F#
I need a little more made of the American Dream.
F#
I want her fired up, yea baby don't try to tie me up.
A#m
I'm just not the type of guy that'd wanna lie to ya.
B
And if you wanna try to fall in love,
F#
It's going to take a little time,
F#
And i won't budge for a minute now.
A#m
You've got to slow yourself on down.
B F#
I've been in love before.
[Chorus]

[Verse]
F#
Well she arrived on an Astro plane.
A#m
6:45 on a Saturday.
B
Just in time for the masquerade,
F#
Just in time for the masquerade.
F#

A#m

B
Just in time to see:
F#
Me making love to her friend Marie.
F#
I said: Baby this aint what you think.
A#m
Like i'm supposed to say that 'cause i've seen it on t.v.
B
Then she ran out into the street.
F#
Why this has happened to me?
