May Your Hearts Stay Strong chords by Cloud Cult

Em

     Am
he met her at a night club,
       Em
she couldn't keep the beat
	          Am
she wore her grandma's prom dress
	      Em
wrapping slippers on her feet
	   G
he took a shot of something strong to make him feel less weak
	       Am
and so the story goes...
	F
there's something to be said about
G

trading stories of when you're eight years old
     G
he had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl
       Em
she had her first kiss in a swimming hole
	Em
so the story goes...
	  Em
and the days grew long
		      Am
and the wine was overflowing
			     Em
and she knew she was in love
		           Em
because nobody ever hugged her like that,
Em
hugged her like that
Em
hugged her like that
Em
hugged her like that
         Am
they moved into a school bus
	        Em
just cause it seemed like fun
	    Am
she said i like the way you touch me

	         G
it makes me feel like i have no skeleton
Em
and so the story goes...
	          Am
and I've seen photographs and videotapes
	Em
of that decent home, that loving place
       Em
and it's about time two minds combine
	   Em
in such a fine, fine way
		Em
and may your lives be    long
	           Em
and may your wishes all be simple
	           Em
and may your hearts stay strong

(strum muted strings with rhythm)

Em
tucked in a bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear
Em
check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there
Em
turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear
Em
turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear
Am
she rides him like the state fair
Am
they make love like two solar flares
Em
and carry like they really care that they're going to make it
Am
He wants to die in the place where she first said i love you
Am
spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew
Dm
they decorate when featherless
G
they celebrate through hungriness
G
and it's about time two minds combine
G
in such a fine, fine way

Em

and may your lives be    long
	           Em
and may your wishes all be simple
	           Em
and may your hearts stay strong

and may your lives be    long
	           Em
and may your wishes all be simple
	           Em
