Good Marriage chords by Lori McKenna

Intro: G    C  G    C  G

verse 1
               C      G
Nobody throws rice anymore
                         C
Walking out those chapel doors
                                   G
But the limo?s dragging empty beer cans
         D        C                  G
And your heart is full of small town plans


verse 2
                       C        G
The house sure needs a little work
                          C
Full of hand me down furniture
                                G
Tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade
D              C                  G
Half the time, half the bills get paid

          C
If it's a long kiss in the hallway
     G
That takes away your breath
        C
If it's something you would die for
       G
And it scares you half to death
      Em
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen
            C
But then it takes you up to bed
                            G    C  G    C  G
Then it's a good marriage


verse 3
               C        G
Nobody gets to sleep anymore
                          C
Rocking babies and pacing floors
                                               G
And it's a full blown miracle just to find the time
   D                   C      G
To make some love on a Friday night


          C
If it's a very fragile rope
                   G
Placed through the eye of a needle like a thread
        C
If it's out in the middle of a storm somewhere
G
Dangling off a ledge
      Em
If it yells sometimes in the kitchen
                C
Then takes back every word it said
                            G    C  G    C  G
Then it's a good marriage


verse 4
                 C                G
Nobody said that love was an easy thing
                                                 C
That ain't the promise that comes with a wedding ring
                                         G
Until death do us part, through rich and poor
      D           C       G
And nobody throws rice anymore


          C
If it's a long kiss in the hallway
     G
That takes away your breath
        C
If it's something you would die for
       G
And it scares you half to death
      Em
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen
            C
But then it takes you up to bed
            G
Then it's a good marriage
  C         Em         G   C G
A damn good marriage
