Everyone Watched The Wedding

::Intro::
G+G - D/F#D/F# - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD

::Verse #1::
G+G                 D/F#D/F#
Sister’s got her baby now and I’m glad for what she did
    E minorEm
But her older one’s in trouble, man I really love that kid
 C majorC              D MajorD
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice
   C majorC                 D MajorD
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life

::Verse #2::
G+G           D/F#D/F#
Me I guess I’m lucky, mine have almost grown
    E minorEm
It’s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
  C majorC                D MajorD
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while
  C majorC               D MajorD
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile


::Verse #3::
G+G               D/F#D/F#
All we ever want at night’s our families to be safe
    E minorEm
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
   C majorC              D MajorD
We know that there’s no promises, no no guarantees
     C majorC               D MajorD
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be


::Pre-Chorus::
C majorC  Em/B  C majorC      D MajorD   C majorC   Em/B C majorC       D MajorD
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G+G                     D/F#D/F#
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
        E minorEm
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
    D MajorD          C majorC          D MajorD
They’re not like you and me, they were destined to be
              G+G          D/F#D/F#
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn’t get enough
        E minorEm
At least for one moment we were right there up above
     D MajorD          C majorC                 D MajorD
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
 C majorC                    D MajorD
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
   C majorC                  D MajorD
That one day, hope was all that we could see
           G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And they looked so beautiful to me
              C majorC
Hope was all that we could see
          D MajorD      G+G
And they looked so beautiful to me

::Interlude::
G+G - D/F#D/F# - E minorEm - D MajorD - C majorC - D MajorD

::Verse #4::
  G+G              D/F#D/F#
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad
     E minorEm
Can you hold on through May and then I’ll give you what I have
C majorC            D MajorD
Everything is going up, business going down
     C majorC                 D MajorD
I’ve been through this so many times it always comes around

::Verse #5::
   G+G            D/F#D/F#
My brother he’s a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue
   E minorEm
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don’t know where he’s gone
   C majorC           D MajorD
My mother she’s a fighter, always made her way
   C majorC             D MajorD
She can’t believe she worries about us all to this day


::Verse #6::
G+G          D/F#D/F#
Me I just keep going, guess that I’ll be fine
   E minorEm
But I can’t believe I keep my head above the waterline
     C majorC             D MajorD
Some people round here want to get rich and run away
     C majorC                 D MajorD
That’s not for me no, I’ve got so many reasons to stay


::Pre-Chorus::
C majorC  Em/B  C majorC     D MajorD    C majorC   Em/B C majorC      D MajorD
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G+G                D/F#D/F#
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
          E minorEm
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
      D MajorD      C majorC             D MajorD
They’re not like you and me, they were destined to be
              G+G          D/F#D/F#
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn’t get enough
        E minorEm
At least for one moment we were right there up above
       D MajorD         C majorC               D MajorD
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
 C majorC                    D MajorD
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
   C majorC                D MajorD
That knowing all our lives will never be
         G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
But they looked so beautiful to me
            C majorC
All our lives will never be
           D MajorD    G+G
But they looked so beautiful to me

::Outro::
G+G - D/F#D/F# - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD - G+G
