That's all the violin I could be bothered with. Maybe
if the tab gets positive response I'll do the rest.

Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
Mary belongs to the words of a song.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure.
Cadd9 G
(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
Cadd9 G
(she is the one), and I have to fight this,
Cadd9 G Dsus4
(she is the one), a villian I can't knock down.
Em7 G
I see your face with every punch I take,
Cadd9 Dsus4
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
Em7 G
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Cadd9 Dsus4
still I will always fight on for you.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
Mary's alive in the bright New York sky,
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
Everything's small on the ground below, down below.
Cadd9 G Em7 Dsus4
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
Cadd9 G
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
Cadd9 G
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
Cadd9 G Dsus4
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.
Em7 G
I see your face with every punch I take,
Cadd9 Dsus4
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
Em7 G
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Cadd9 Dsus4
still I will always fight on for you.
Cadd9 Dsus4
Fight on for you.
