[Verse 1]
[Bm]My[G][Bm][G]
[Bm]Father sits
at night [G]with no lights on
[Bm]His cigarette glows in the d[G]ark
[Dm]The living room is still,
[C]I walk by, no remar[Am]k
[Cm]I ti[G]p to[D]e [Bm]past the
master [G]bedroom
where [Bm]my mother reads her ma[G]gazines.
[Dm]I hear her call sweet dreams,
[C]but I forget how to dre[Am]am.[Eb][G]
[F]But you say it's time we
[Em]moved in together
an[Dm]d raised a family of our own[C],
you and me.
[F]Well, that's the way I've
always [Em]heard it should be
You want to [A]marry me
[D]We'll marry
My friends from college,
they're [G]all married now
[D]They have their houses
and [G]their lawn[Dm]s
They have their silent noon[C]s,
tearful nights, angry [Am]dawn[Cm] s[G]
[D]The children [Bm]hate them
for [G]the things they're not
[D]They hate themselves for what [G]they are
[Dm]And yet they drink, they laugh,
[C]close the wound, hide the[Am] scar[Eb][G]
[F]But you say it's time we
[Em]moved in together
[Dm]an d raised a family of our ow[C]n,
you and me.
[F]Well, that's the way
I've always [Em]heard it should be.
You want to [A]marry me
[D]We'll marry
[G]Here[D][G]
You [D]say [Bm]that we can[G]'t keep our love alive
[D]Babe, all I know is [Bm]what I see[G]
All I know is what I [Dm]see
The couples cling [C]and claw,
and drown in [G]love's [F]debris[D][Cm][G]
[D]You say you'll soar like two
[G]birds through the clouds
[D]But [Bm]soon you'll cage me on [G]your shell
[Dm]Oh, I'll never learn to be j[C]ust
me first by [Ab]myself[F]
Well, okay, it's time we
[Em]moved in together
[Dm]And raised a family of our o[C]wn,
you and me
[F]Well, that's the way
I've always [Em]heard it should be
You want to [A]marry me
We'll [D]marry you
