Lori McKenna - Good Marriage
[Intro]
G    C  G    C  G
[Verse 1]
Nobody throws rCice anyGmore 
Walking out those chapel Cdoors 
But the limo’s dragging empty beer Gcans 
And your Dheart is Cfull of small town Gplans
[Verse 2]
The house sure needs a Clittle woGrk 
Full of hand me down furniCture 
Tattoos and honeymoon tans will Gfade 
DHalf the time, Chalf the bills get Gpaid
[Chorus]
If it’s a Clong kiss in the hallway 
That Gtakes away your breath 
If it’s Csomething you would die for 
And it Gscares you half to death 
If it Emfights sometimes in the kitchen 
But then it Ctakes you up to bed 
Then it’s a good marriageG  C  G  C  G  
[Verse 3]
Nobody gets to Csleep anyGmore 
Rocking babies and pacing Cfloors 
And it’s a full blown miracle just to find the Gtime 
To Dmake some love on a CFriday Gnight 
[Chorus]
If it’s a Cvery fragile rope 
Placed through the Geye of a needle like a thread 
If it’s Cout in the middle of a storm somewhere 
GDangling off a ledge 
If it Emyells sometimes in the kitchen 
Then takes back Cevery word it said
Then it’s a good marriage G  C  G  C  G  
[Verse 4]
Nobody said that Clove was an easy Gthing 
That ain’t the promise that comes with a wedding Cring 
Until death do us part, through rich and Gpoor 
And noDbody throws Crice anyGmore
[Chorus]
If it’s a Clong kiss in the hallway 
That Gtakes away your breath 
If it’s Csomething you would die for 
And it Gscares you half to death 
If it Emfights sometimes in the kitchen 
But then it Ctakes you up to bed 
Then it’s a Ggood marriage
A Cdamn good EmmarriageG  C  G

Lori McKenna - Good Marriage

[Intro]

G C G C G

[Verse 1]

C G

Nobody throws rice anymore

Walking out those chapel doors

But the limo’s dragging empty beer cans

D C G

And your heart is full of small town plans

[Verse 2]

C G

The house sure needs a little work

Full of hand me down furniture

Tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade

D C G

Half the time, half the bills get paid

[Chorus]

If it’s a long kiss in the hallway

That takes away your breath

If it’s something you would die for

And it scares you half to death

If it fights sometimes in the kitchen

But then it takes you up to bed

G C G C G

Then it’s a good marriage

[Verse 3]

C G

Nobody gets to sleep anymore

Rocking babies and pacing floors

And it’s a full blown miracle just to find the time

D C G

To make some love on a Friday night

[Chorus]

If it’s a very fragile rope

Placed through the eye of a needle like a thread

If it’s out in the middle of a storm somewhere

Dangling off a ledge

If it yells sometimes in the kitchen

Then takes back every word it said

G C G C G

Then it’s a good marriage

[Verse 4]

C G

Nobody said that love was an easy thing

That ain’t the promise that comes with a wedding ring

Until death do us part, through rich and poor

D C G

And nobody throws rice anymore

[Chorus]

If it’s a long kiss in the hallway

That takes away your breath

If it’s something you would die for

And it scares you half to death

If it fights sometimes in the kitchen

But then it takes you up to bed

Then it’s a good marriage

C Em G C G

A damn good marriage
