Capo on 3rd fret.

G# minorG#m
My father sits at night with no lights on
              C# minorC#m
His cigarette glows in the dark.
B minorBm
The living room is still;
A augmentedA     A7A7  A augmentedA   DmDm E MajorE
I walk by, no remark.

G# minorG#m
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
            C# minorC#m
My mother reads her magazines.
B minorBm
I hear her call sweet dreams,
A augmentedA      A7A7   A augmentedA   DmDm E MajorE
But I forgot how to dream.

D MajorD            C# minorC#m
But you say it's time we moved in together
  D MajorD         C# minorC#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
B minorBm                C# minorC#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
      F minorFm       BB
You want to marry me, we'll marry.

G# minorG#m
My friends from college they're all married now;
                 C# minorC#m
They have their houses and their lawns.
B minorBm
They have their silent noons,
A augmentedA        A7A7  A augmentedA   DmDm E MajorE
Tearful nights, angry dawns.

G# minorG#m
Their children hate them for the things they're not;
                  C# minorC#m
They hate themselves for what they are
B minorBm
And yet they drink, they laugh,
A augmentedA        A7A7    A augmentedA   DmDm E MajorE
Close the wound, hide the scar.

D MajorD            C# minorC#m
But you say it's time we moved in together
  D MajorD         C# minorC#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
B minorBm                C# minorC#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
      F minorFm       BB
You want to marry me, we'll marry.

G# minorG#m
You say we can keep our love alive
              C# minorC#m
Babe all I know is what I see
B minorBm
The couples cling and claw
A augmentedA      A7A7    A augmentedA  DmDm E MajorE
And drown in love's debris.

G# minorG#m
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
                C# minorC#m
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
B minorBm
I'll never learn to be just me first
A augmentedA A7A7 A augmentedA   DmDm E MajorE
By my self.

D MajorD          C# minorC#m
But ok it's time we moved in together
  D MajorD           C# minorC#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
B minorBm                C# minorC#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
      F minorFm       BB
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
   BB
We'll marry.

THE END!
