C A minorAm FF C majorC


Verse 1:

C majorC  E minorEm     A minorAm   FF
     I understand you needing

C majorC  E minorEm     A minorAm   FF
     And wanting is no crime

C majorC  E minorEm    DmDm
     But I can't help feeling

   C majorC      A minorAm       FF      C majorC
That you and your mother are just wasting your time

Chorus:

G+G  A minorAm      FF     C majorC
     Choosing Saturdays in Summer

G+G  A minorAm     FF   G+G
     I dare you to wear white

C majorC  A minorAm       FF     C majorC
   Love is just a moment of giving

C majorC        A minorAm        FF      C majorC
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


Verse 2:

C majorC  E minorEm     A minorAm   FF
     I just don't understand it

C majorC  E minorEm     A minorAm   FF
     What makes our love a sin

C majorC  E minorEm    DmDm
     How can it make that difference

   C majorC      A minorAm       FF      C majorC
If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring


Chorus 2:

G+G  A minorAm   FF     C majorC
     If I share my bed with you

G+G  A minorAm     FF   G+G
     Must I also share my life

C majorC  A minorAm       FF     C majorC
   Love is just a moment of giving

C majorC        A minorAm        FF      C majorC
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

Verse 3:

C majorC  E minorEm     A minorAm   FF
     You just don't understand it

C majorC  E minorEm       A minorAm   FF
     This tender trap we're in

C majorC  E minorEm        DmDm
     Those glossy catalogs of couples

   C majorC      A minorAm    FF     C majorC
Are cashing in on happiness again and again


Chorus 3:

G+G  A minorAm      FF     C majorC
     So drag me to the altar

G+G  A minorAm     FF   G+G
     And I'll make my sacrifice

C majorC  A minorAm       FF     C majorC
     Love is just a moment of giving

C majorC        A minorAm        FF      C majorC
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C majorC        A minorAm        FF      C majorC
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C majorC        A minorAm        FF    DmDm         C majorC   A minorAm   FF  C majorC
And marriage is when we admit our parents    were probably right
