 E
Mary Jo, living alone
  B
Drinking tea, on her own
     A                            E
She wants, I don't know what you want
 E
Mary Jo, living alone
  B
Drinking gin, the telly's on
     A
She wants

Chorus:
                     E            F#m
The night to follow day and back again
                    G#m
She doesn't want to sleep
                 A               E
Well who could blame her if she wants?
                    F#m           G#m
The night to follow day and back again
                      B
She doesn't want to sleep
                 A                 B
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
               A                 B
Oh who could blame her, if she sleeps?
               A                   E
Oh who could blame her, if she's sleeping?

Mary Jo, back with yourself
For company, keep telling yourself you're young
And it will happen soon
Mary Jo, no one can guess
What you've been through
Now you've got love to burn

Chorus:
It's someone else's turn to go through hell
Now you can see them come from fifty yards
Yeah, you can tell
It's someone else's turn to take a fall
And now you are the one who's strong enough
to help them
The one who's strong enough to help them
The one who's strong enough to help them all

C#m
Mary Jo, you're looking thin
        B
You're reading a book, "The State I Am In"
    A                      E
But oh, it doesn't help at all
     C#m
Cos what you want is a cigarette
        B                             A
And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull

Chorus:
Your life is never dull in your dreams
A pity that it never seems to work
the way you see it
Life is never dull in your head
A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
Women and the men you left for
Intrigue and the men you left for dead

Life is never dull in your dreams
A pity that it never works out, Mary
Life is never dull in your dreams
A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
Women, and the men you left for
Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
The men you left for dead
