G                                 D7
One by one my friends are gettin' married

C            D7                 G
One by one I watch them pass me by

                                          C
And when they play here comes the bride I rush outside and cry

         D7                         G
For that happy couple to be you and I


                        D7
Always a bridesmaid but never a bride 

                        C        G
Smiling and talking and crying inside

                         C
I tried to forget you oh Lord how I tried

D7                              G
Always a bridesmaid but never a bride


                              D7
I've had lots of time to find another

C                  D7               G
Since that day you walked out of my life

                                C
But I gave all my love to you I can't love someone new

    D7                            G
And without love I'll be nobody's wife


                        D7
Always a bridesmaid but never a bride
 
                        C        G
Smiling and talking and crying inside

                         C
I tried to forget you oh Lord how I tried

D7                              G
Always a bridesmaid but never a bride
