G My father sits at night with no lights on G His cigarette glows in the dark Dm7 The living room is still G I walk by, no remark G I tiptoe past the master bedroom where G My mother reads her magazines G
I hear her call sweet dreams G But I forgot how to dream Em But you say it's time we moved in together Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry G My friends from college they're all married now G They have their houses and their lawns Dm7 They have their silent noons G Tearful nights, angry dawns G Their children hate them for the things they're not G They hate themselves for what they are G And yet they drink, they laugh G Close the wound, hide the scars Em But you say it's time we moved in together Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry G You say we can keep our love alive G Babe, all I know is what I see Dm7 The couples cling and claw G And drown in love's debris G You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds G But soon you'll cage me on your shelf G I'll never learn to be just me first G By myself Em Well O.K., it's time we moved in together Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry D
