[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
They got married on a [G]Tuesday
night in [Ab]April
Her sister as a [Cm]witness
and her sister's [G]man
The dog lying on the kitchen tile as usual
[Ab]The words written on the b[Cm]ack
of the commissioner's [G]hand
[Ab]The words written on the b[Cm]ack of
the commissioner's [G]hand
They always said a big
wedding wasn't [Em]needed
[Bm]They always said they'd prob[C]
ably always be in [G]love
[Em]All they really needed to hear
[Bm]Dressed in their everyday clothes
[C]The words written on the bac[D]k of
the commissioner's [G]hand

[Verse 2]
[Eb]
Be as kind as you [Bb]can[Eb]
If I ever be[Bb]come[Dm][F][Eb]

[Interlude 1]
stand
[Bb][Eb][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]The children were keeping
their vigil over the spring
The [Ab]water was weeping with
[C]rhythm and tone and [G]shade
They decided, together,
the finest color of all was green
[Ab]Everyone else was [C]away
somewhere [G]at war
They wrote a letter
It said that "we hope you
come home [Em]winners"
They wrote an[Bm]other that said,
"we hope the [C]others do [G]the same"
Remember, [Em]everyone is dying of thirst
By [Bm]the time they make it
back to the spring
[C]Everyone is reading [Dm]the word
s off the back of their [G]hand

[Verse 4]
[Eb]
Be as kind as you [Bb]can[Eb]
If I ever be[Bb]come[Dm][F][Eb]
What you can't under[Bb]stand

[Verse 5]
Teddy never [Bb]made it [F]home[Gm]
Said he saw [G]a U[Bb]FO
Woke up in the [Gm]rapeseed field
Behind the old department
store in the [Ab]mall
And as the sun was coming up
[Cm]All he knew was that he'd
been [Ab]somewhere
And the sound of the words
going round in his head
[F]So weirdly familiar, like the back of his [Eb]hand

[Verse 6]
Be as [Eb]kind as you [Bb]can[Eb]
If I ever be[Bb]come[Dm][F][Eb]

[Outro 1]
What you can't understand
[Bb][Eb][C][C]
