Merry Go Round Chords

CAPO 4 (This is how the studio version is) 
or  CAPO 5 (how Kacey plays it live.)

D G

   D
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
your probably gonna die alone
G
at least that's what tradition told you.
    D
And it don't matter if you don't believe, 
                             G
come sunday morning you best be there
in the front row, like your s'posed to.

Em7                D
Same hurt in every heart.
G                       A
Same trailer, different park.

G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
    D
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
    D                 A              Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
       G                D               
On this broken Merry go 'round and round 
   A            Em7
and round we go, where it stops 
  G          D
nobody knows
            A                          
and it ain't slowin down, this merry go 
D
round

D
We think the first time's good enough,
                                G
So we hold on to highschool love,
Say we won't end up like our parents.

D
Tiny little boxes in a row, 
                                     G
ain't what you want it's what you know,
Just happy in the shoes your wearin.


Em7                     D
Same checks we're always cashin,
G                       A
to buy a little more distraction.

G
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
    D
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we get bored so we get married
    D                 A              Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
       G                D               
On this broken Merry go 'round and round 
   A            Em7
and round we go, where it stops 
  G          D
nobody knows
            A                          
and it ain't slowin down, this merry go 
D
round


G
Mary Mary quite contrary,
we're so bored until we're burried
    D                 A              Em7
and just like dust we settle in this town.
        G                D    A   Em7
On this broken Merry go 'round
  G          D   A Em7 G
Merry Go 'Round

D
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Jack burned out on booze and pills,
G
and mary had a little lamb,
                               D
mary just don't give a damn no more
