CAPO 3

Em Am F Am Em

he met her at a night club,

she couldn't keep the beat

she wore her grandma's prom dress

wrapping slippers on her feet

Am G

he took a shot of something strong to make him feel less weak

and so the story goes...

there's something to be said about

Am G

trading stories of when you're eight years old

Am G

he had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl

Am Em

she had her first kiss in a swimming hole

so the story goes...

G Em

and the days grew long

and the wine was overflowing

and she knew she was in love

because nobody ever hugged her like that,

hugged her like that

they moved into a school bus

just cause it seemed like fun

she said i like the way you touch me

it makes me feel like i have no skeleton

and so the story goes...

and I've seen photographs and videotapes

of that decent home, that loving place

G Em

and it's about time two minds combine

G Am Em

in such a fine, fine way

G Am Em

and may your lives be long

G Em

and may your wishes all be simple

G Am Em

and may your hearts stay strong

e)---3---5--3--2---3--2--3---2--3--2--0----------------------------------------|

B)------------------------------------------------0---1------------------------|

(strum muted strings with rhythm)

tucked in a bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear

check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there

turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear

she rides him like the state fair

they make love like two solar flares

and carry like they really care that they're going to make it

He wants to die in the place where she first said i love you

spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew

they decorate when featherless

they celebrate through hungriness

and it's about time two minds combine

in such a fine, fine way

Em Am F Am Em

and may your lives be long

G Em

and may your wishes all be simple

G Am Em

and may your hearts stay strong

and may your lives be long

G Em

and may your wishes all be simple

G Am Em

and may your hearts stay strong
