Modern Marriage

[Verse 1]

E
  I promise not to rip you off
E
  And I promise not to sell you out
E
  I will never smoke all your stash 
if I happen to find it whilst 
tidying up
E                                 
  Which, let's face it, isn't 
    F
likely
Well, we would always leave you at 
        E
least a joint's worth, anyway
And I will never eat the last bit of
         E
 cereal, and then put the empty 
packet back, hoping you won't 
notice,
                 E
Or if I do, I'll pay for the next 
lot, I promise
'Cos I know that really gets on your
  F
 nerves
E
  And I will never sleep with any of
 your friends - well, not your best 
friends

[Chorus]

G   C
    I don't know just what I'm meant
 to do
G
I don't want to make it wrong for 
you
F
How can we escape what's happened to
Fm                             Bb
All those others who've gone before 
us two?
C
Baby, we have lived together
G
Now we'll do it all forever
F
Hold my hand, don't ever let it go
Fm                               
Close your eyes, hold tight, and 
Bb
here we go

[Verse 2]

E                       E
    And how do we avoid being like 
all those other cheese-masters?

Demonstrating the facilities of 
             E
their new car and the trouser press
                    E              
From hunter-gatherer to 
                         F
washer-dryer is a long, strange trip
E                                
  And what if our kids turn into 
E                             
pudgy blobs, wearing Union Jack 
              E
underpants, addicted to coffee 
whitener?
E                              
Bloated caricatures of something 
                            E
vaguely recognisable as a human 
being - a human being that you once 
loved

[Chorus]

G   C
    I don't know just what I'm meant
 to do
G
I don't want to make it wrong for 
you

Hold my hand, don't ever let it go

Close your eyes, hold tight, and 
Bb
here we go

[Bridge]

C/E
So this is it:
C/E
We're walking down the aisle
C/E
The dawning of a new era
C/E
Is this the start of a new 
airbrushed Disney-life
C/E
Or some 36-part depressing-as-hell 
Northern drama to be repeated every 
night, for the rest of our lives?
C/E
Oh! and now I'm frightened
C/E
Oh yeah, I'm shitting Barratt houses
 here
C/E
Is this the right thing?
C/E
And then suddenly I'm turning to 
look at your face and I'm saying:
               C/G
"I do", "I do", "I do"

[Chorus]

C
I don't know just what I'm meant to 
do
G
I don't want to make it wrong for 
you
F
How can we escape what's happened to
Fm                             Bb
All those others who've gone before 
us two?
C
Baby, we have lived together
G
Now we'll do it all forever
F
Hold my hand, don't ever let it go
Fm                               
Close your eyes, hold tight, and 
Bb
here we go
