Bm                          Gmaj7
My father sits at night with no lights on
Bm                         G
His cigarette glows in the dark
Dm7
The living room is still
Cmaj7      Am7        Ab   G
I walk by, no remark

Bm                    Gmaj7
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
Bm                      G
My mother reads her magazines
Dm7
I hear her call sweet dreams
Cmaj7           Am         Ab   G
But I forgot how to dream


[Chorus]

F                       Em
But you say it's time we moved in together
Dm7                      Cmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
F                               Em
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
            A
You want to marry me
      D
We'll marry


[Verse 2]

Bm                                  Gmaj7
My friends from college, they're all married now
Bm                               G
They have their houses and their lawns
Dm7
They have their silent noons
Cmaj7                 Am    Ab   G
Tearful nights, angry dawns

Bm                              Gmaj7
Their children hate them for the things they're not
Bm                                G
They hate themselves for what they are
Dm7
And yet they drink, they laugh
Cmaj7                    Am7    Ab   G
Close the wound, hide the scar


[Chorus]

F                       Em
But you say it's time we moved in together
Dm7                      Cmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
F                               Em
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
            A
You want to marry me
      D
We'll marry


[Verse 3]

Bm                          Gmaj7
You say we that can keep our love alive
Bm                        G
Babe, all I know is what I see
Dm7
The couples cling and claw
Cmaj7               Am      Ab   G
And drown in love's debris

Bm                               Gmaj7
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
Bm                             G
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
Dm7
I'll never learn to be
Cmaj7           Am7       Ab   G
Just me first, by myself


[Chorus]

F                       Em
Well, okay, it's time we moved in together
Dm7                      Cmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
F                               Em
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
           A
You want to marry me
      D
We'll marry
