[Verse 1]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
My father sits at night with no lights on,
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
His cigarette glows in the dark,
Dm7
The living room is still,
Cadd9 C7 Am7 Ab7 G
I walk by, no re - mark
[Verse 2]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
I tiptoe past the master bedroom, where...
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
my mother reads her maga - zines,
Dm7
I hear her call Sweet dreams!
Cadd9 Cmaj7 Am7 Ab7 G
But I forget how to dream
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em7 *
But you say it's time we moved in together,
Fmaj7 C7
And raised a family of our own, you and me,
Fmaj7 Em7 *
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
A Dadd9/A
You want to marry me, ...we'll marry
[Verse 3]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
My friends from college, they're all ...married now,
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
They have their houses, and their ...lawns,
Dm7
They have their silent noons,
Cadd9 Cmaj7 Am7 Ab7 G
Tearful nights, angry dawns7
[Verse 4]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
Their children hate them for the things they're not,
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
They hate themselves for what they are,
Dm7
And yet they drink, they laugh,
Cadd9 Cmaj7 Am7 Ab7 G
Close the wound, hide the scar
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em7 *
But you say it's time we moved in together,
Fmaj7 C7
And raised a family of our own, you and me,
Fmaj7 Em7 *
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
A Dadd9/A
You want to marry me, ...we'll marry
[Verse 5]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
You say that we can keep our love alive,
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
Babe, all I know is what I see,
Dm7
The couples cling and claw,
Cadd9 Cmaj7 Am7 Ab7 G
And drown in love's de - bris7
[Verse 6]
Bm Bm7 Bm Gmaj7
You say, we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
Bm Bm7 Bm Em7
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf,
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Am7 Ab7 G
I'll never learn to be just me first, By my - self
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em7 *
Well ok you say it's time we moved in together,
Fmaj7 C7
And raised a family of our own, you and me,
Fmaj7 Em7 *

You want to marry me, ...we'll marry
