Carly Simon - Thats the way ive always heard it should be acoustic

^G#mMy father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the ^C#mdark. ^BmThe living room is still; ^AI walk by, ^A7no re^Amark. ^{Dm E}

^G#mI tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her maga^C#mzines. ^BmI hear her call sweet dreams, ^ABut I forgot ^A7how to ^Adream. ^{Dm E}

^DBut you say it's time we ^C#mmoved in together And ^Draised a family of ^C#mour own, you and me ^BmWell, that's the way I've always ^C#mheard it should be: You want to ^Fmmarry me, we'll ^Bmarry.

^G#mMy friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their ^C#mlawns. ^BmThey have their silent noons, ^ATearful nights, ^A7angry ^Adawns. ^{Dm E}

^G#mTheir children hate them for the things they're not; They hate themselves for what they ^C#mare ^BmAnd yet they drink, they laugh, ^AClose the wound, ^A7hide the ^Ascar. ^{Dm E}

^DBut you say it's time we ^C#mmoved in together And ^Draised a family of ^C#mour own, you and me ^BmWell, that's the way I've always ^C#mheard it should be: You want to ^Fmmarry me, we'll ^Bmarry.

^G#mYou say we can keep our love alive Babe all I know is what I ^C#msee ^BmThe couples cling and claw ^AAnd drown in ^A7love's de^Abris.^{Dm E}

^G#mYou say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, But soon you'll cage me on your ^C#mshelf ^BmI'll never learn to be just me first ^ABy ^A7my ^Aself. ^{Dm E}

^DBut ok it's time we ^C#mmoved in together And ^Draised a family of our ^C#mown, you and me ^BmWell, that's the way I've always ^C#mheard it should be: You want to ^Fmmarry me, we'll ^Bmarry. We'll ^Bmarry.
