Chorded by: Justin Lea

Capo 5


                 
   You could never compromise
               
   I could never satisfy you at all
                                      
   Always thought you had gentle eyes
                                             
   Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
                  
   Before I was a young man
                          
   Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
                          
   The years don't seem to touch you
                                      
   It makes me wonder what you sold


Chorus

Oh my Maria
                                       
   I'll never change you, I know...I know

I need to see you
                     
   That never changes, oh no


                  
   You lived on the 7th floor
                 
   It was far from heaven but it meant more
                            
   You said things that were hard to ignore
                         
   My conversation makes you bored
                  
   You always hated wedding bells
                                   
   You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
               
Life is for the taking
                          
Life is for the taking...


Chorus


Bridge
                          
  So how's it going to be, Maria?
                       
  Will it be you and me?  Or will it be

  Five more years of counting my tears

  Five more years of living in fear
                    
  I  beg for my supper at night
                     
  If this is love then it don't feel right

   And my heart's burning out of control

   They gave her five, but she's out on parole

   Hey, hey, hey
                             (add3)     (add3)
   This girl is leading me astray


                    
Saw a pho-to-graph of you today
                        
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
                      
And now I see that you made the front page
                             
Married for the money and you blew him away
                      
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
                      
You only had five words on your mind

                 
Life is for the taking
                      
Life is for the taking



Chorus 2x


                               
   I beg for my supper at night
                           
   If this is love then it don't feel right

   And my heart's burning out of control

   They gave her five, but she's out on parole


  Hey hey hey
                            (add3)     (add3)
  This girl is leading me astray
                
  Listen what I say
                            (add3)
  This girl is leading me astray
