{c:}
[Bm] My father sits at night with [Gmaj7] no lights on
[Bm] His cigarette glows in the [G] dark
[Dm7] The living room is still
[C] I walk by, no re-[Am7]mark [Ab] [G]
[Bm] I tiptoe past the master [Gmaj7] bedroom where
[Bm] My mother reads her maga-[G]zines
[Dm7] I hear her call sweet dreams
[C] But I forgot how to [Am7] dream [Ab] [G]
[F] But you say it's time we [Em7] moved in together
[Dm7] And raised a [G7] family of our [Cmaj7] own, you and me
[F] Well, that's the way I've always [Em7] heard it should be
You want to [A] marry me
We'll [D] marry
[Bm] My friends from college, they're all [Gmaj7] married now
[Bm] They have their houses and their [G] lawns
[Dm7] They have their silent noons
[C] Tearful nights, angry [Am] dawns [Ab] [G]
[Bm] Their children hate them for the [Gmaj7] things they're not
[Bm] They hate themselves for what they [G] are
[Dm7] And yet they drink, they laugh
[C] Close the wound, hide the [Am7] scar [Ab] [G]
[F] But you say it's time we [Em7] moved in together
[Dm7] And raised a [G7] family of our [Cmaj7] own, you and me
[F] Well, that's the way I've always [Em7] heard it should be
You want to [A] marry me
We'll [D] marry
[Bm] You say we that can keep our [Gmaj7] love alive
[Bm] Babe, all I know is what I [G] see
[Dm7] The couples cling and claw
[C] And drown in love's de-[Am]bris [Ab] [G]
[Bm] You say we'll soar like two birds [Gmaj7] through the clouds
[Bm] But soon you'll cage me on your [G] shelf
[Dm7] I'll never learn to be
[Cmaj7] Just me first, by my-[Am7]self [Ab] [G]
[F] Well, okay, it's time we [Em7] moved in together
[Dm7] And raised a [G7] family of our [Cmaj7] own, you and me
[F] Well, that's the way I've always [Em7] heard it should be
You want to [A] marry me
We'll [D] marry
