^Bm/D My father sits at night with^Gmaj7 no lights on, ^Bm/D His cigarette glows in the ^Gmaj7dark, ^Dm9 the living room is still, Cadd9 Am/G Ab G I walk by, no re - mark---------! | / / / / |

^Bm/D I tiptoe past the master b^Gmaj7edroom, where... ^Bm/D ...my mother reads her maga - ^Gmaj7zines, ^Dm9 I hear her call,"Sweet dreams!" Cadd9 Am/G Ab G But I forget how to dream--------! | / / / / |

^Fmaj7 But you say it's time we m^Em7oved in together, ^Fmaj7 And raised a family of our^Cmaj7 own, you and me, ^Fmaj7 Well, that's the way I've always h^Em7eard it should be, You want to ma^Arry me, ...we'll ma^D5rry-----!

^Bm/D My friends from college, they're all^Gmaj7... married now, ^Bm/D They have their houses, and their^Gmaj7... lawns, ^Dm9 they have their silent noons, ^Cadd9 Tearful nights, angry d^Am/Gawns----^Ab--! | ^G/ / / / |

^Bm/D Their children hate them for^Gmaj7----- the things they're not, ^Bm/D They hate themselves for what they^Gmaj7 are, ^Dm9 and yet they drink, they laugh, ^Cadd9 Close the wound, hide the ^Am/Gscar----^Ab--! | ^G/ / / / |

^Bm/D You say that we can keep our^Gmaj7 love alive, ^Bm/D Babe, all I know is what I^Gmaj7 see, ^Dm9 the couples cling and claw, ^Cadd9 And drown in love's de -^Am/G bris---^Ab---! | ^G/ / / / |

^Bm/D You say, we'll soar like two birds t^Gmaj7hrough the clouds, ^Bm/D But soon you'll cage me... on your ^Gmaj7shelf, Dm9 Cadd9 Am/G Ab G I'll never learn to be just me first, by my - self--------! | / / / / |

^Fmaj7 Well, okay, it's time we m^Em7oved in together, ^Fmaj7 And raised a family of our ^Cmaj7own, you and me, ^Fmaj7 Well, that's the way I've always h^Em7eard it should be, A D5 You want to marry me, ...we'll marry-----------------! (Marry-----------!)
