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 

D A (x4)


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
