Good Marriage chords

[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
 
 

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



[Chorus]
          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 
 
 
[Chorus]
          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
 
 
[Chorus]
          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
