[Verse 1]
Bmadd9/D                                Gmaj7
           My father sits at night with no lights on,
Bmadd9/D                              Gmaj7
           His cigarette glows in the dark,
Dm9
       The living room is still,
Cadd9                     Am/G      Ab    G
       I walk by, no re - mark--------------!
                        |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Verse 2]
Bmadd9/D                             Gmaj7
            I tiptoe past the master bedroom, where...
Bmadd9/D                             Gmaj7
       ...my mother reads her maga - zines, 
Dm9
       I hear her call, "Sweet dreams!"
Cadd9                    Am/G      Ab    G
       But forget how to dream-------------!
                       |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                           Em7
       But you say it's time we moved in together,
Dm7                               Cmaj7
       And raised a family of our own,  you and me,
Fmaj7                                   Em7
       Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
            A                    D
You want to marry me,   ...we'll marry
 
[Verse 3]
Bmadd9/D                                      Gmaj7
          My friends from college, they're all   ...married now,
Bmadd9/D                                    Gmaj7
          They have their houses, and their     ...lawns,
Dm9
       They have their silent noons,
Cadd9                        Am/G      Ab    G
       Tearful nights, angry dawns------------!
                           |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Verse 4]
Bmadd9/D                                   Gmaj7
          Their children hate them for the things they're not,
Bmadd9/D                                     Gmaj7
          They hate themselves for what they are,
Dm9
       And yet they drink, they laugh,
Cadd9                            Am/G      Ab    G
       Close the wound, hide the scar-------------!
                               |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                           Em7
       But you say it's time we moved in together,
Dm7                               Cmaj7
       And raised a family of our own,  you and me,
Fmaj7                                   Em7
       Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
            A                    D
You want to marry me,   ...we'll marry
 
[Verse 5]
Bmadd9/D                                     Gmaj7
           You say that we can keep our love     ...alive,
Bmadd9/D                              Gmaj7
           Babe, all I know is what I see,
Dm9
       The couples cling and claw,
Cadd9                           Am/G     Ab    G
       And drown in love's de - bris--------------!
                             |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Verse 6]
Bmadd9/D                                     Gmaj7
          You say, we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
Bmadd9/D                                  Gmaj7
          But soon you'll cage me on your shelf,
Dm9                               Cadd9
      I'll never learn to be just me first,
        Am/G      Ab    G
By my - self--------------!
      |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                            Em7
        Well, okay, it's time we moved in together,
Dm7                                Cmaj7
        And raised a family of our own,  you and me,
Fmaj7                                    Em7
        Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
            A                  D5
You want to marry me, ...we'll marry-----------------!
                                    (Marry-----------!)
