[Verse]
E                                A                E
I got the letter darling read it o'er and o'er a- -gain
    B7                            E
You say that you are really sorry now
                                   A                E
After all the time I suffered, you asked me to come back
        A                   E               B7             E
Married vows that were for- -gotten you are just recalling now

[Chorus]
E                            A                  E
Marriage vows forgotten is a bet you'll have to pay
      B7                                E
For I realize that I can never want you now
                                         A                 E
I thought at first I couldn't live with- -out you being a- -round
     A                   E                B7              E
*But you're the one, I'm not to blame for broken marriage vows

[Verse]
E                                        A                E
I've forgiven you my darling prayed that God would do the same
        B7                               E
Was be- -fore him that we made our every vow
                                          A                 E
I must say I'll always love you you're my choice of all the rest
        A                    E                 B7              E
And I'm glad the vows you've broken, you've at last remembered now

[Chorus]
E                            A                  E
Marriage vows forgotten is a bet you'll have to pay
      B7                                E
For I realize that I can never want you now
                                         A                 E
I thought at first I couldn't live with- -out you being a- -round
     A                   E                B7              E
*But you're the one, I'm not to blame for broken marriage vows
