The Modern Mary
The Good Life
Bm
(início)
Bm My mama cried, staring at the stars G She had once felt so almighty D F#m Now, she’s never felt so small Bm My mama fell flat back on the floor G She once had a loving husband D F#m He don’t love her anymore Bm My mama screamed, “This ungrateful world!” G Keeps on taking and not giving D F#m Ever since she was a girl Bm My angry mama pushed everything inside G She will never let another D F#m Steal the soil of her life
Chorus
G Em Bm G So, she tears away those pages of her diary F#m A All those sick and sticky memories D F#m “Jesus… some fuckin’ Jesus.” C Bm D It’s the same with every guy she meets F#m Thinkin’ they’re Jesus – A Bm She don’t need their goddamn charity G D F#m
Verse 2
Bm My mama cried, staring at her hands G Thinking, ‘How could others use these D F#m To shed the blood of man?’ Bm My mama felt guilt-ridden remorse G When she thought of those before her D F#m Who suffered even more Bm My mama laughed, “Everything’s so clear! G The woman is the wounded D F#m The man stabs ‘the spear’’!” Bm My loving mother held her children to her breast G This world can go fuck itself D F#m She’ll never acquiesce
Chorus
G Em Bm G She tore away the pages of her diary – F#m A Every silly entry Bm Em G Bm Tore away the layers of her history F#m A ’Til finally she could see clearly: D C G Everybody hail the Defiled Mary Em Bm The afterthought of all male martyrdom A Behind every good man Bm Is a messiah story A G F#m I, for one, am as guilty as they come; A Bm After all, I’m my mama’s son
