[G+G]He proposed on a Wednesday they were [D MajorD]married by Friday
[C majorC]She tossed her bouquet down the [G+G]court house steps
[G+G]Little girl caught it, [D MajorD]caught it as it fell
[C majorC]She looked up at her sister and said [G+G]I don’t hear the bells
[G+G]Aren’t they supposed to ring?

[C majorC]Don’t we have a party now
Hasn’t [G+G]something just been found?

Yes we’ll [G+G]make it [D MajorD]through the [C majorC]worst part of a [G+G]broken heart.
GUITAR BREAK (play once)
? [C majorC] [C/BC/B] [C majorC] [G+G] ??
*** I’m really not sure if this part is correct. Please offer corrections/suggestions…***
What I do is play a C, walk down to C/B, and then play the fifth string open, hammer on the
second fret, play another quick C, and jump up to the G. Tabbed, it would look like something
like this:

[G+G]What’s this notion of [D MajorD]forever for
[C majorC]If not to save you from one more [G+G]slamming door?
[G+G]So she called her best friend just to [D MajorD]bitch for a while
[C majorC]Somehow she always turns her [G+G]tears into smiles
She said [G+G]honey don’t cry, he don’t [D MajorD]deserve you anyway
[C majorC]If it was that easy for him to just [G+G]walk away
And you’ll [G+G]make it [D MajorD]through the [C majorC]first part of a [G+G]broken heart
Yes you’ll [G+G]make it [D MajorD]through the [C majorC]worst part of a [G+G]broken heart
GUITAR BREAK – same as above, but play twice this time
[G+G]She lit a candle for her heart, a [D MajorD]joint for her head
She [C majorC]poured herself a drink and she got [G+G]back in bed
And she [G+G]dreamed herself away, [D MajorD]dreamed herself back
[C majorC]Dreamed herself in circles didn’t have no [G+G]heart attack
And when she [G+G]woke up in the morning she [D MajorD]went right back to school
[C majorC]She didn’t feel like some loser she wasn’t [G+G]anybody’s fool
And she [G+G]made it [D MajorD]through the [C majorC]worst part of a [G+G]broken heart
Yes she [G+G]made it [D MajorD]through the [C majorC]worst part of a [G+G]broken heart
