Good Marriage

	  		
Intro: G    C  G    C  G 

verse 1 
               C      G 
Nobody throws rice anymore  
                         C 
Walking out those chapel doors  
                                   G 
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  
                          C 
Full of hand me down furniture  
                                G 
Tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade  
D              C                  G 
Half the time, half the bills get paid 

 
          C 
If it’s a long kiss in the hallway  
     G 
That takes away your breath  
        C 
If it’s something you would die for  
       G 
And it scares you half to death  
      Em 
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen  
            C 
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  
                          C 
Rocking babies and pacing floors  
                                               G 
And it’s a full blown miracle just to find the time  
   D                   C      G 
To make some love on a Friday night  


          C 
If it’s a very fragile rope  
                   G 
Placed through the eye of a needle like a thread  
        C 
If it’s out in the middle of a storm somewhere  
G 
Dangling off a ledge  
      Em 
If it yells sometimes in the kitchen  
                C 
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  
                                                 C 
That ain’t the promise that comes with a wedding ring  
                                         G 
Until death do us part, through rich and poor  
      D           C       G 
And nobody throws rice anymore 

 
          C 
If it’s a long kiss in the hallway  
     G 
That takes away your breath  
        C 
If it’s something you would die for  
       G 
And it scares you half to death  
      Em 
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen  
            C 
But then it takes you up to bed  
            G 
Then it’s a good marriage 
  C         Em         G   C G 
A damn good marriage
