VERSE 1:
D A D A
Cath, she stands
D A D A
With a well intentioned-man
D A D A
But she can’t relax
D A D A
With his hand on the small of her back
VERSE 2:
D A D A
And as the flashbulbs burst,
D A D A
She holds a smile
D A D A
Like someone would hold
D A D A
A crying child
CHORUS:
F#m E Eb B D A D A
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
F#m E Eb B D A D A
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do

VERSE 3:
D A D A
Cath, it seems
D A D A
That you live in someone else’s dream
D A D A
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
D A D A
With the things that could’ve been, all repressed
VERSE 4:
D A D A
But you said your vows
D A D A
And you closed the door
D A D A
On so many men
D A D A
Who would’ve loved you more
CHORUS:
F#m E Eb B D A D A
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
F#m E Eb B D A D A
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
CHORUS:
F#m E Eb B D A D A
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews
F#m E Eb B
But if their hearts were dying that fast they’d have done
D A D A
the same as you
D A D A
And I’ve done the same as you
F#m E End on: Eb
