Dm C Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
C G
Oh I can't let you into my life
Dm C Dm C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
G A7
wife
Dm
When I met I met you for pleasure
C G
And the good times of running around
Dm C Dm
Then you seemed to be so understanding
C G A7
>From the weight that's been draggin me down
Dm C Dm
The good times are coming between us
C G
Though you helped me I'm carrying my load
Dm C Dm C
And I've never felt more like a lover but I'm running right off the
G A7
road
Dm C Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
C G
Oh I can't let you into my life
Dm C Dm C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
G A7
wife
Dm C Dm
Oh it's nothing you said or invited
C G
And it's nothing you did that was wrong
Dm C Dm C G A7
Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong
Dm C Dm
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
C G
Oh I can't let you into my life
Dm C Dm C
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
G A7 Dm
wife
