Chord/Tab song: I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You

(Lyle Lovett, 1989)

KEY OF Bb: capo 3, play in G

[G] [D] [2G]

I[G]ts not the words [C]"You know I'll always [G]love you"

[G]It's not the words "I [D]wish that I could s[G]tay"

It[G]'s more the way your lips lo[G7]oked as you s[C]poke them

A[G]nd how the moonlight f[D]ell upon your f[G]ace

[C]I ma[D]rried h[G]er just bec[D]ause she looks like y[G]ou

And for e[D]very time you said no she says h[C]oney I'll be g[G]lad to

And for e[D]very time you left me she says d[C]arling I'll be t[D]here

[G]It's not the words [C]"You'll get over me"

That m[G]ade my dr[C]eams come t[G]rue

[C]I ma[D]rried h[G]er just bec[D]ause she looks like [G]you

[G] [C] [2G] [C] [G] [D] [2G]
And i[D]f I had not searched for you I n[C]ever would have fo[G]und her

And [D]if I had not loved you I [C]would never have known l[D]ove

[G]It's not the words "Please t[C]ry to forget me"

That m[G]ade my dre[C]ams come t[G]rue

[C]I m[D]arried [G]her just bec[D]ause she looks like y[G]ou


And for e[D]very time you knocked me down sh[C]e reaches out to h[G]elp me

And for e[D]very time you cursed me she says [C]darling I love y[D]ou

I[G]t's not the words "[C]Time heals everything"

That m[G]ade my dr[C]eams come t[G]rue

[C]I m[D]arried h[G]er just beca[D]use she looks like [G]you

[C]I m[D]arried h[G]er just beca[D]use she looks like y[G]ou[C][D][G]
