The Marriage

C  Am  F  C
C  Am  F  C


[Verse 1]
C    Em          Am     F
         I understand you needing
C    Em         Am      F
         And wanting is no crime
C    Em        Dm
         But I can't help feeling
     C            Am              F            C
That you and your mother are just wasting your time


[Chorus]
G    Am           F         C
         Choosing Saturdays in Summer
G    Am         F      G
         I dare you to wear white
C    Am             F         C
     Love is just a moment of giving
C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


[Verse 2]
C    Em          Am     F
         I just don't understand it
C    Em         Am      F
         What makes our love a sin
C    Em        Dm
         How can it make that difference
     C            Am              F            C
If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring


[Chorus 2]
G    Am     F         C
         If I share my bed with you
G    Am         F      G
         Must I also share my life
C    Am             F         C
     Love is just a moment of giving
C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


[Verse 3]
C    Em          Am     F
         You just don't understand it
C    Em             Am      F
         This tender trap we're in
C    Em               Dm
         Those glossy catalogs of couples
     C            Am        F         C
Are cashing in on happiness again and again


[Chorus 3]
G    Am           F         C
         So drag me to the altar
G    Am         F      G
         And I'll make my sacrifice
C    Am             F         C
         Love is just a moment of giving
C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
C               Am                F            C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
C               Am                F        Dm                  C     Am     F    C
And marriage is when we admit our parents        were probably right
