The Marriage chords by Billy Bragg

Intro:
C Am F C
C Am F C


Verse 1:

C  Em     Am   F
     I understand you needing

C  Em     Am   F
     And wanting is no crime

C  Em    Dm
     But I can't help feeling

   C      Am       F      C
That you and your mother are just wasting your time


Chorus:

G  Am      F     C
     Choosing Saturdays in Summer

G  Am     F   G
     I dare you to wear white

C  Am       F     C
   Love is just a moment of giving

C        Am        F      C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


Verse 2:

C  Em     Am   F
     I just don't understand it

C  Em     Am   F
     What makes our love a sin

C  Em    Dm
     How can it make that difference

   C      Am       F      C
If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring


Chorus 2:

G  Am   F     C
     If I share my bed with you

G  Am     F   G
     Must I also share my life

C  Am       F     C
   Love is just a moment of giving

C        Am        F      C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right


Verse 3:

C  Em     Am   F
     You just don't understand it

C  Em       Am   F
     This tender trap we're in

C  Em        Dm
     Those glossy catalogs of couples

   C      Am    F     C
Are cashing in on happiness again and again


Chorus 3:

G  Am      F     C
     So drag me to the altar

G  Am     F   G
     And I'll make my sacrifice

C  Am       F     C
     Love is just a moment of giving

C        Am        F      C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C        Am        F      C
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

C        Am        F    Dm         C   Am   F  C
And marriage is when we admit our parents    were probably right
