Dm                 G
   You could never compromise
Dm               G
   I could never satisfy you at all
C                         F             
   Always thought you had gentle eyes
C                          F                   Dm
   Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
                  G
   Before I was a young man
Dm                          G
   Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
C                          F
   The years don't seem to touch you
C                          F          G  F
   It makes me wonder what you sold
Chorus
F
Oh my Maria
Em           Dm            C        G      G  F
   I'll never change you, I know...I know
F
I need to see you
Em           Dm          Am
   That never changes, oh no
Dm                  G
   You lived on the 7th floor
Dm                 G
   It was far from heaven but it meant more
C                            F
   You said things that were hard to ignore
C                  F       
   My conversation makes you bored
Dm                  G
   You always hated wedding bells
Dm                          G         
   You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
C               F
Life is for the taking
Dm              Am         G  F 
Life is for the taking...
Chorus
Bridge
G                          C
  So how's it going to be, Maria?
G                       C
  Will it be you and me?  Or will it be
Dm
  Five more years of counting my tears
Dm
  Five more years of living in fear
G                    C
  I  beg for my supper at night
G                     C
  If this is love then it don't feel right
Dm
   And my heart's burning out of control
Am
   They gave her five, but she's out on parole
C
   Hey, hey, hey
                           Dm  (add3)    C (add3)
   This girl is leading me astray
      Dm              G
Saw a pho-to-graph of you today
     Dm                   G
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
    C                  F
And now I see that you made the front page
C                             F
Married for the money and you blew him away
   Dm                   G
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
         Dm             G
You only had five words on your mind
C               F  
Life is for the taking
Dm              Am      G  F
Life is for the taking
Chorus 2x
G                               C
   I beg for my supper at night
G                           C
   If this is love then it don't feel right
Dm
   And my heart's burning out of control
Am
   They gave her five, but she's out on parole
C
  Hey hey hey
                          Dm  (add3)    C (add3)
  This girl is leading me astray
                C
  Listen what I say
                          Dm  (add3)
  This girl is leading me astray
