C             G
You're like a guitar in the hands
     C                   G
Of a man that just can't play
               Em     C                G
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
              C          G
You're like a student on vacation
       C                     G
That's waitin' for school to resume
       Em                C
Like a flower in the dark
            G
Never gonna bloom

[Chorus]
               C       G
You're getting married
               C       G
You're getting married
               Am7         Bm
You're getting married, oh no

C F x2

[Verse 2]
          C                       G
Well, you say you'll both be real happy
    C                   G
You forgot to tell your eyes
              Em
You're like a bird in a cage
C                         G
Watchin' the flock fly on by
              C                G
You're like a student who's on vacation
     C                     G
Just waitin' for school to start
        Em
I don't know what's in it for you
   C                        G
But it ain't, it ain't your heart

[Chorus]
               C       G
You're getting married
               C       G
You're getting married
               Am7         Bm    C
You're getting married, oh no oh no

[Verse 3]
              C             G
You're like a guitar in the hands
        C                    G
Of some fool that just can't play
               Em     C                G
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
          C                       G
Well, you say you'll both be real happy
    C                   G
You forgot to tell your eyes
              Em
You're like a bird in a cage
C                         G
Watchin' the flock fly on by
              C          G
You're like a student on vacation
       C                     G
That's waitin' for school to resume
       Em                C
Like a flower in the dark
            G
Never gonna bloom

[Chorus]
           C       G
If you get married
           C      G
If you get married
              Am7     Bm  C      G
Don't you get married, oh no, oh no
C G
