Capo on 3rd fret.
G#m
My father sits at night with no lights on
C#m
His cigarette glows in the dark.
Bm
The living room is still;
A A7 A Dm E
I walk by, no remark.
G#m
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
C#m
My mother reads her magazines.
Bm
I hear her call sweet dreams,
A A7 A Dm E
But I forgot how to dream.
D C#m
But you say it's time we moved in together
D C#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bm C#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
Fm B
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
G#m
My friends from college they're all married now;
C#m
They have their houses and their lawns.
Bm
They have their silent noons,
A A7 A Dm E
Tearful nights, angry dawns.
G#m
Their children hate them for the things they're not;
C#m
They hate themselves for what they are
Bm
And yet they drink, they laugh,
A A7 A Dm E
Close the wound, hide the scar.
D C#m
But you say it's time we moved in together
D C#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bm C#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
Fm B
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
G#m
You say we can keep our love alive
C#m
Babe all I know is what I see
Bm
The couples cling and claw
A A7 A Dm E
And drown in love's debris.
G#m
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
C#m
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
Bm
I'll never learn to be just me first
A A7 A Dm E
By my self.
D C#m
But ok it's time we moved in together
D C#m
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bm C#m
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
Fm B
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
B
We'll marry.
