Maria

Mar[G]ia was [D]born in the [Cadd9]valley, she [G]wants to be a [D]super[Cadd9]star.
She [G]says she wants to [D]move to [Cadd9]California as [G]soon as [D]she gets [Cadd9]her car.
Ma[G]ria likes [D]going to [Cadd9]parties, she [G]hangs out with the [D]popular [Cadd9]crowd.
She [G]says she doesn’t [D]mind if I [Cadd9]stay with her tonight, but [G]I can’t [D]stick [Cadd9]around.
    [G]       [D]     [Cadd9]       [Em] [G/f#] [G]  [D]    [Cadd9]   [Em] [G]/[F#] [G]    [D]   [Cadd9]
No, I won’t stick around. But I can’t be your savior, I can’t save you from yourself.
But [G]stay with [D]me, I [Cadd9]swear, baby, we’ll be [G]fi[D]ne[Cadd9].
We’ll be [G]fi[D]ne[Cadd9].

Ma[G]ria got [D]caught up in [Cadd9]substance, [G]problems that [D]made her [Cadd9]bed.
She [G]said “Some[D]times, I [Cadd9]hate my life, some[G]times I think I’m [D]better off [Cadd9]dead.”
Ma[G]ria didn’t [D]know who to [Cadd9]turn to, I [G]guess that’s why she [D]turned to [Cadd9]me.
Said, “I [Em]can’t [D]be your [Cadd9]hero, but I can [G]try my best to [D]be the [Cadd9]man of your dreams.”
