CAPO 3
[Em] [Am] [F] [Am] [Em]
he me[Am]t her at a night club,
she cou[Em]ldn't keep the beat
she wore her grand[Am]ma's prom dress
wrapping slipp[Em]ers on her feet
he took a s[Am]hot of something strong to make him feel le[G]ss weak
and so the stor[Am]y goes...
there's [F]something to be said about
[Am]trading stories of when you're eig[G]ht years old
he ha[Am]d his first stitches when he bit an i[G]ce cream bowl
she had[Am] her first kiss in a swimming h[Em]ole
so the s[Em]tory goes...
and the da[G]ys grew long[Em]
and the wine was overf[Am]lowing
and she knew she was in love[Em]
because nobody ever hugged [Em]her like that,
[Em]hugged her like that
[Em]hugged her like that
[Em]hugged her like that
they move[Am]d into a school bus
just cause it se[Em]emed like fun
she said i l[Am]ike the way you touch me
it makes me feel [G]like i have no skeleton
[Em]and so the story goes...
and I've seen phot[Am]ographs and videotapes
of that [Em]decent home, that loving place
and it'[G]s about time two minds comb[Em]ine
in such a f[G]ine, fi[Am]ne [Em]way
and may your liv[G]es be [Am] [Em]long
and may your wishes[G] all be simple[Em]
and may your hearts[G] stay str[Am]ong[Em]

[Em]tucked in a bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear
[Em]check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there

[Em]turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear
[Am]she rides him like the state fair
[Am]they make love like two solar flares
[Em]and carry like they really care that they're going to make it

[Am]spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew
[Dm]they decorate when featherless
[G]they celebrate through hungriness
[G]and it's about time two minds combine
[G]in such a fine, fine way
