Em D C# A
C G (x4)
VERSE 1:
C G C G
Cath, she stands
C G C G
With a well intentioned-man
C G C G
But she can’t relax
C G C G
With his hand on the small of her back
VERSE 2:
C G C G
And as the flashbulbs burst,
C G C G
She holds a smile
C G C G
Like someone would hold
C G C G
A crying child
CHORUS:
Em D C# A C G C G
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
Em D C# A C G C G
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
C G (x4)
VERSE 3:
C G C G
Cath, it seems
C G C G
That you live in someone else’s dream
C G C G
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
C G C G
With the things that could’ve been, all repressed
VERSE 4:
C G C G
But you said your vows
C G C G
And you closed the door
C G C G
On so many men
C G C G
Who would’ve loved you more
CHORUS:
Em D C# A C G C G
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
Em D C# A C G C G
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
CHORUS:
Em D C# A C C/B A
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews
Em D C# A
But if their hearts were dying that fast they’d have done
C G C G
the same as you
C G C G
And I’ve done the same as you
Em D End on: C#
Thanks for adding these chords. They're right on point.
Sry, but i think that that C# in the chorus is actually supposed to be just a C
nevermind, i think i just proved myself wrong, lol
