G
Well they met at Business College
           C      D      Em
She made a ledger of his heart
 Bm
He never knew how good it felt
                                 D
Until they pushed their desks together
G                                  C       D      Em
He added up the minutes they spent walking to her car
Bm                                                      D
To know how much time wasted he didn't need his calculator
Em Am B D

[Verse 2]
G
Then at the Graduation Party
       C     D      Em
On the final day of class
 Bm
He probably drank a lot more cheap champagne
          D
Then he intended
G
But the cake was almost taken
         C             D      Em
The hors-d'oevres were fading fast
              Bm
And they were handing out certificates
                   D
To all those who attended

[Pre-Chorus]
            Em
And as they leaned out on the window sill
         B
He said "You've got fantastic people skills
    C                   G
And I've a flair for accounting
              Em               B
We've got the rest of our lives at our disposal
     C                  G
So I hope you'll please consider
   Am        D
My following proposal

[Chorus]
      G
Let's move out to the country
          C        Am   D G    D
And we'll open up a video store

[Verse 3]
       G                             C             D       Em
So she chose a wedding ring and then together they chose a town
    Bm                                            D
The diamond in the desert, his fortune around her finger
G                                 C       D         Em
Business names and colour schemes became points contended
       Bm                                         D
And in quiet times his idea for a jingle he would sing her

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                                 B
Crowd for which they were hoping arrived at the grand opening
    C                               G
And in their hands they waved their vouchers
     Em                           B
They locked both the doors at the end of the day's trading
         C                     Bm                Am               D
And they held hands behind the counter as on the town the sun was fading
          G                                 C           Am  D  G   D  C
Yeah they moved out to the country and they opened up a video store

[Break]
                                D
And he would always look to the quiet times
         Em                       G
When the tapes were all returned
               C          G      Am             D      G C D Em Bm D x 2
And they could sit back together relax and just rewind

[Pre-Chorus]
       Em                                B
And it seems that now the profits paid a hair salon on Saturday
        C                      G
And the racetrack meeting on a Sunday
Em                           B
All perms must fall, she was starting to get lazy
       C                    G
And he shopped at the local Men's Land
           Am                 D
'Cause the prices were always crazy
          G
Yeah they moved out to the country
         C      G    Am  D   G  D C
And they opened up a video store
G Am G
