G I still recall Em C The awful clanging of those wedding bells D G I prayed your Billy would go straight to hell C D G That Sunday morning Yes I did compete With the heart of a fool but I must retreat Go back to Nashville lay down in the street As a final warning Your love is gone For me, for you, and for everyone Kidnap the moon, assassinate the sun It's time for mourning C Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat D I can stand the riots in the city streets Em C My love for you will stand the test of time D The happiest day of your life C D G Was the worst day of mine G C D G I stood in the park Like a photograph until way after dark In a rented suit holding my homeless heart In the freezing summer Could not stand the test Choked on the words, 'I wish you the best' Walked away and put my gifts with the rest But my box was empty Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat I can stand the riots in the city streets My love for you will stand the test of time The happiest day of your life Was the worst day of mine Eighty-six Fahrenheit I stand alone in the punishing light Burning the thought of you out of my mind But it ain't working I love you babe First time I said it I was so afraid Wish I'd said it on your wedding day Life would be amazing Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat I can stand the riots in the city streets My love for you will stand the test of time The happiest day of your life Was the worst day of mine
