[Intro]
A F#m D Bm E
[Verse]
AMy best friend had a little situation at the F#mend of our senior year
DAnd like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that BmsummerE  
ACarolann getting bigger every minute Thinking, F#m"What am I doing here?"
DWhile Mitchell's out every night being a heavy-metal Adrummer
[Chorus]
They got a liF#mttle cute house on a lEittle cute street With a cruDcifix on the doAor
C#mMitchell got a job at the recDord store Bin the Emall
Just the F#mtypical facts of a Etypical life in a Dtown on the Eastern AShore
I C#mthought about what I Dwanted It C#mwasn't like that at Ball
MaEde CarolF#mann a cBmute baby Dsweater Thinking "I can do Ebetter than Athat"
A F#m D Bm E
[Verse]
AIn a year or so, I moved to the city Thinking "F#mWhat have I got to lose?"
DGot a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds BmthinnerE  
AMet a guy in a class I was taking with some F#mvery well placed tattoos
DHe wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to Adinner
[Chorus]
And I F#mguess he was cute And I Eguess he was sweet And I Dguess he was good in Abed
I gC#mave up my life for a Dbetter part Bof a yeEar
And so I'm F#mstarting to think that this Emaybe might work And the sDecond it entered my Ahead
He C#mneeded to take some Dtime off C#mFocus on his "Bcareer"
EHe blew me F#moff with a heBmartfelt Dletter I thought "I can do Ebetter than Athat"
[Bridge]
You don't Dhave to get a haircut You don't Bhave to change your shoes
You don't Dhave to like DurEan Duran Just Alove me
You don't Dhave to put the seat down You don't Bhave to watch the news
You dont' Dhave to learn to Btango You don't Ehave to eat prosciuC#7tto
You don't F#mhave to change a thing Just stay with Bme
I want Dyou and you and nothing but you BmMiles and piles of you
Finally GI'll have something worthwChile To think about eaDch morning
YoGu and you and nothing but you ENo substitution will do
Nothing but Gfresh, undiluted and Gmpure Top of the AlineG  F#m  E  
and totally miEne!D  C#m  Bm  E  
[Verse]
AI don't need any lifetime commitments I don't F#mneed to get hitched tonight
DI don't want to throw up your walls Bmand defensEes
AI don't mean to put on any pressure But I F#mknow what a thing is right
DAnd I spend every day re-configuring my Asenses
[Chorus]
When we F#mget to my house, take a Elook at that town Take a Dlook at how far I've Agone
I will nC#mever go back never Dlook back BanymEore
And it F#mfeels like my life led rEight to your side And will Dkeep me there from now Aon
ThC#mink about what you Dwanted C#mThink about what could Dbe
