Maria

(Intro) [A] [D] [E] 2x
Like a m[A]ile wide torna[D]do   [E]
[A]Comin through the Mid[D]west   [E]
She [A]walked into my sce[D]ne   [E]
And you k[A]now the rest   [D]     [E]
[A]  I heard she nev[D]er got   [E]
Those l[A]etters that I se[D]nt   [E]
I g[A]ot a few from her[D]    [E]
Wonder h[A]ow she been  [D]      [E]

(Pre-cho)
[Bm]She said babe I always kinda lik[D]ed the way you talk
[Bm]How you give away the gold like it was a[D]ny other r[E]ock

(Chorus)
[A]Maria how you co[E]me around and throw your [Bm]bad advice at [D]me
[A]But you're up [E]on a pedestal,[Bm] sparks and ele[D]ctricity
[A]Maria I could se[E]ttle down and I [Bm]need you desperately [D]
[A]But I can ne[E]ver get enough[Bm] of these things that are [D]killing me

Intro/Verse Chords 2x ([A]  [D]  [E])

(Verse 2)
Well once upon an idea
I love the girls like you
The sleepless nights and blown out fights
They were funny too
Eventually the charm
That always would wear off
The price I paid always outweighed
Any other costs

(Pre-cho)
Oh but babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
You know shes [Bm]just a little girl
But shes [D]not controlling me
The [Bm]harder that you swim against it
The [D]further you end up out at [E]sea

(Chorus)
[A]No I can ne[E]ver get enoug[Bm]h of these things that are [D]killing me. Hey!

(Outro)
