Bm The living room is still; A A7 A Dm E I walk by, no remark. G#m I tiptoe past the master bedroom where C#m My mother reads her magazines. Bm I hear her call sweet dreams, A A7 A Dm E But I forgot how to dream. D C#m But you say it's time we moved in together D C#m And raised a family of our own, you and me Bm C#m Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: Fm B You want to marry me, we'll marry. G#m My friends from college they're all married now; C#m They have their houses and their lawns. Bm They have their silent noons, A A7 A Dm E Tearful nights, angry dawns. G#m Their children hate them for the things they're not; C#m They hate themselves for what they are Bm And yet they drink, they laugh, A A7 A Dm E Close the wound, hide the scar. D C#m But you say it's time we moved in together D C#m And raised a family of our own, you and me Bm C#m Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: Fm B You want to marry me, we'll marry. G#m You say we can keep our love alive C#m Babe all I know is what I see Bm The couples cling and claw A A7 A Dm E And drown in love's debris. G#m You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, C#m But soon you'll cage me on your shelf Bm I'll never learn to be just me first A A7 A Dm E By my self. D C#m But ok it's time we moved in together D C#m And raised a family of our own, you and me Bm C#m Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: Fm B You want to marry me, we'll marry. B We'll marry. Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
