[Verse 1]
DBlack Mary bless your heart
EmBorn at the end of an age
GWhen the punk girls fake all their grit
AAnd they love in the very same way
DBut you were their jack knife queen
EmRansacked and agonized
GBy the virgin boys and their rabid swing
AThey scratch at your door in the dead of night
A7Foaming at the mouth screaming take a sight
[Chorus]
Or just Emleave
But she can't turn down a Anice little kiss from a fool like me
She's a Emthief
She stole every Awhite flag, wet-dream wandering eye
A7The boys fail to keep her every time they try

[Verse 2]
DBlack Mary what's it like
EmTo dive in deep with the dead
GTo curse the fools and their whiskey jive
ATo join in on what you resent
DThe church says you've gone insane
EmThe nurse says you've gotta get out
GBut you're stuck inside where you pray for rain
AYou watch at your window at a heavy cloud
A7But nothing ever falls in your lovesick drought
[Chorus]
So it Emseems
But she can't turn down a Anice little kiss from a fool like him
She's a Emthief
She stole every Awhite flag, wet-dream wandering eye
A7The boys fail to keep her every time they try
(wanderiEmng eyes, wandering eyes)
She stole every Awhite flag, wet-dream wandering eye
(wanderiEmng eyes, wandering eyes)
She takes what sAhe gets when she leaves what she finds

[Intro]

(x 2)

G D D7

[Verse 1]

Black Mary bless your heart

Born at the end of an age

When the punk girls fake all their grit

And they love in the very same way

But you were their jack knife queen

Ransacked and agonized

By the virgin boys and their rabid swing

They scratch at your door in the dead of night

Foaming at the mouth screaming take a sight

[Chorus]

Or just leave

But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like me

She's a thief

She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye

The boys fail to keep her every time they try

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Black Mary what's it like

To dive in deep with the dead

To curse the fools and their whiskey jive

To join in on what you resent

The church says you've gone insane

The nurse says you've gotta get out

But you're stuck inside where you pray for rain

You watch at your window at a heavy cloud

But nothing ever falls in your lovesick drought

[Chorus]

So it seems

But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like him

She's a thief

She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye

The boys fail to keep her every time they try

(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)

She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye

(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)

She takes what she gets when she leaves what she finds

(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)

She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye

The boys fail to keep her every time they try

[Outro]

D G

But it's you that I hate to leave

D G

Oh you know that I'll fall apart

D Bm A G

Oh it's through you I learned to love the brightest side of the dark
