Mary cries out: For the love of God

But we know

(The world's full of lonely people)
Bb F
And it shows
G D
(The world's full of lonely people)
C6 G D
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
C6 G D
Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
C6 G D
Writes a poem and turns the radio on
C6 G
Every singer sings the same old song
Bb F
And it goes
G D C6
(The world's full of lonely people)
Bb F
And it shows G Dm
(The world's full of lonely people)
