Verse I:

G                     D
Ten years out of high school
G                     D
Still no idea what to do
G                        D
You took him home from a night club
G                       D
He took a night club to you


Verse II:

G                       D
Now I watch from the window
G             D
Too guilty to scream
G                D
My feet are like steel, I
G             D
Might be in a dream


Bridge:
                 A                                 G             D
But every time I see you, you look bigger than you did the day before
              A                                G   D
Even though I know it's not my fault I wish it was
           A                           G                  D
I can only ride the elevator all night long from floor to floor
               A                                G    D
And I can only stand outside your window in the dust


Chorus:
               D            Em
So how about a shotgun wedding
                G      D
What about your dignity
                            Em
What about a different setting
           G  D
What about me
                            Em
All your daddy's wishes, honor
            G       D
All of that security
                         Em
How about a shotgun wedding
           G  D
What about me


Verse III:

G               D
I guess I'm a loner
G              D
Some call me a freak
G               D
Saw  you in the hallway
G             D
Too guilty to speak


Verse IV:

G                     D
Now I sleep in the daytime
G                  D
And I sleep on the floor
G           D
I dial your number
G                   D
And I knock on your door


Bridge:
                 A                                   G            D
But every time I hear your voice or footsteps, I get frozen in my place
              A                                G   D
And I have to struggle for the courage just to run
      A                                          G               D
I can see the eyes of all the ones that left you glowing in your face
                 A                                     G   D
And I just wanna help you with this life that you've begun


Chorus:

               D            Em
So how about a shotgun wedding
                G      D
What about your dignity
                            Em
What about a different setting
           G  D
What about me
                            Em
All your daddy's wishes, honor
            G       D
All of that security
                          Em
What about a shotgun wedding
           G  D
What about me
             D            Em
What about a shotgun wedding
           G    D 
What about me
