F
She hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her husband
                                            Bb
And tired of the same old list of things to do
                                    F
So when the to do’s have all been done
           C
She sits down at the kitchen table
                     F
Rolls herself a fat one

F
Smoke so sweet fills the air
She maybe oughta crack a window
                                    Bb
But all she can do is stare at the paint
                                    F
That’s been a-peeling off of the walls
     C                                                  F
A couple of tokes and her troubles don’t seem all that tall

Bb 
You know life will let you down
                      F
Love will leave you lonely
C                             Bb    C
Sometimes the only way to get by
F
Is to get high

F
She laughs out loud
At who she used to be
The girl who’d’ve looked down on
                                 Bb
The woman smoking weed in her kitchen
                                    F
Sometimes she misses those younger days
             C
Seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses
                         F
Instead of this purple haze


Bb 
You know life will let you down
                      F
Love will leave you lonely
C                             Bb    C
Sometimes the only way to get by
F
Is to get high

F
So she tucks her kids in at night
Kisses her husband
                                 Bb
Turns off the light and talks to God
                                         F
Says lord help me accept what I can’t change
     C
But until I learn to do that
                      F
Thanks for the Mary Jane

Bb 
You know life will let you down
                        F
Love's gonna leave you lonely
C                             Bb    C
Sometimes the only way to get by
F
Is to get high
       C                           Bb  C
Yeah sometimes the only way to get by
F
Is to get high
