Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G
I thought I fell in love when I was eighteen
     E minorEm
With you cruising Main Street dreaming up our lives
    C majorC
We had bigger plans than staying there in Jackson
   D MajorD
Come summertime I made a pretty bride

    G+G
We got married in the Baptist church on State Street
  E minorEm
No daddy there to walk me down the aisle
  C majorC
My mama never could pin down a good man
   D MajorD
So I swore to God that we would do things right

Chorus 1:
  G+G
But marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C majorC                D MajorD
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
      C majorC
'Cause the years keep rolling on
  G+G       E minorEm
And all I know for sure
      C majorC              D MajorD
There's so many little ways to break a heart


Verse 2:
     G+G
Well our demons didn't take too long to show up
E minorEm
Turns out, when I drink I like to fight
  C majorC
And then you'd leave the house and wouldn't tell me
     D MajorD
Where you went to ease your sorrows late at night

    G+G
And we fought for three whole days when I got pregnant
E minorEm
Where I disappeared to, no one knew
   C majorC
When I came home, I carried myself different
    D MajorD
It was all the growing up I had to do

Chorus 2:
    G+G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C majorC                D MajorD
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
  C majorC
The years keep rolling on
  G+G       E minorEm
And all I know for sure
      C majorC               D MajorD
There's so many ways your world can fall apart


Verse 3:
   G+G
Well, we can't hide our claws, our teeth, our anger
  E minorEm
The fire's hot and this could last all night
  C majorC
The air is thick with things we haven't said yet
      D MajorD
But we're saving them for when they burn just right

  G+G
And I hang on to suffering like it's a winning hand
E minorEm
Waiting my turn to cash it all in
  C majorC
And how we stayed together I'll never understand
   C majorC
Some days I think that God is up there laughing at my plans


Chorus 3:
    G+G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C majorC                D MajorD
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
  C majorC
The years keep rolling on
  G+G       E minorEm
And all I know for sure
      C majorC              D MajorD
There's so many little ways to break a heart
  C majorC
The years keep rolling on
  G+G       E minorEm
And all I know for sure
      C majorC               D MajorD
There's so many ways your world can fall apart
