Intro:
C  Am  F  C
C  Am  F  C

C    Em          Am     F
         I understand you needing

     C            Am              F            C
That you and your mother are just wasting your time


Chorus:

G    Am           F         C
         Choosing Saturdays in Summer

G    Am         F      G
         I dare you to wear white

C    Am             F         C
     Love is just a moment of giving

C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


Verse 2:

C    Em          Am     F
         I just don't understand it

C    Em         Am      F
         What makes our love a sin

C    Em        Dm
         How can it make that difference

     C            Am              F            C
If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring


Chorus 2:

G    Am     F         C
         If I share my bed with you

G    Am         F      G
         Must I also share my life

C    Am             F         C
     Love is just a moment of giving

C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


Verse 3:

C    Em          Am     F
         You just don't understand it

C    Em             Am      F
         This tender trap we're in

C    Em               Dm
         Those glossy catalogs of couples

     C            Am        F         C
Are cashing in on happiness again and again


Chorus 3:

G    Am           F         C
         So drag me to the altar

G    Am         F      G
         And I'll make my sacrifice

C    Am             F         C
         Love is just a moment of giving

C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C               Am                F        Dm                  C     Am     F    C
And marriage is when we admit our parents        were probably right
