Biography:
Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").

[verse 1]
Em G
It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
D Em
The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss
Em G
It's another night in another town
D Em
And I'm another blues traveler headed down
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
D Em
With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
Em G
With its birds of prey circling overhead
D Em
Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
[bridge]
A Em
Let me out, set me free
A Em
Let me out, set me free

[verse 2]
Em G
The clock inside the church bell tower
D Em
Rings your name every hour
Em G
I see your face, I touch your hair
D Em
Then the ringing fades and nobody's there
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
D Em
With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
Em G
With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
D Em
Sacriligious hungry sighs
[bridge]
A Em
Let me out, set me free
A Em
Let me out, set me free

[verse 3]
Em G
I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt
D Em
I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts
Em G
I search your silence looking for a crack
D Em
For a passageway where I can pull you back
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a tedious thing
D Em
With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
G
Its time to serve and its sentence set
D Em
With its warm blood and cold sweat
[bridge]
