Bridge:
F5F5
I can tell you this much
II will marry just once
C majorC
And if it doesn't work out
Give her half of my stuff
A augmentedA
It's fine with me
Dsus2/B
We said eternity
F5F5
And I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
C majorC
Not just some melody line
On a radio wave
A augmentedA
It dissipates
Dsus2/B
And soon evaporates
F5F5
But home life doesn't change
