[Verse]
G
Well, my heart skipped a beat when you walked into the room
G
And in five seconds I was thinking bride and groom
      D
I was thinking bride and groom, thinking man and wife
D
Never fell in love so fast in all of my life

[Verse]
  G
I know you’ll like my friends and you’ve got to meet my parents
G
My dad is pretty funny and my mom looks like betty white
            D
I’ve got to have another drink to figure out
D
A way to introduce myself to you tonight

[Verse]
    G
I’m lousy on the first night, better by the third
G
I was raised catholic, in case you hadn’t heard
      D
But I ain’t the type of man who lives on dreams and wishes
D
Or walks around the house breaking bread and blessing fishes

[Verse]
     G
If I sent a dozen roses just out of habit
G
Would you press those flowers in a copy of Babbitt?
  D
I need another drink, I need a cigarette
D
I ain’t giving up, I’m gonna get you yet

[Verse]
     G
I’ll give you the rights to my ten best songs
G
If you want to talk, I can talk till dawn
      D
Right there I need a word that rhymes with urn
D
I guess your name is the first thing I ought to learn

[Verse]
  G
I hope you’re a democrat, I hope you like the Red Sox
G
Hope you like bourbon with a splash of water on the rocks
D
Bourbon with a splash is the only drink I make
D
But baby, I can learn, there’s a course I can take

[Verse]
    G
You might as well give up, I’m gonna make my move
G
We can honeymoon in Paris, hang out at the Louvre
       D
We can winter in the city, summer up in Maine
D
And all of this will happen, just as soon as I learn your name
