G                 Em            Am                    D
I remember hiding my liquor in the travel mug as I walked down
        G                          Em
To the old church where I had surrendered
            Am                       D
My day's freedom to fuck with the sound
         G                       Em
Play an old song, turn all the mics on
               Am                          D
So all your friends and family hear your vows
             G                     Em
For you to jump on a train I'd soon be off
             Am                         D
If we could only get our feet to the ground

[Chorus]
                C                        G
And all your friends, they all gather around you
Em           C                           G
I take another gulp and turn up the volume
     Em                 C                    G
They're all praising Jesus for making you brand new
 Em                Am               D7
Despite your last name, you look exactly the same to me

[Instrumental]
G Em Am D7

[Verse 2]
              G                        Em
Out of town friends came crashing the party
            Am                          D
We talked about what we'd all done differently
           G                         Em
Two star buffets, running through the rain
                 Am                      D
Desperate for anything to make me feel clean

                   G                            Em
Well, now you are smiling, I know you've been lying
            Am                               D
It's okay, babe, we've gotta convince our friends
                    G                         Em
Till one of them touched me, assuring the feeling
           Am                        D
I knew suddenly we were nearing the end

[Chorus]
               C                                G
Then all the guests, they start beating their glassware
       Em         C                               G
Till the couple kisses and applause chokes out our air
 Em            C                       G
We'll surely miss them for the next 60 years
       Em             Am                 D7                    G
Though we are still here, it seems that love makes you disappear

[Instrumental]
G Em Am D7  x2

[Bridge]
    C                     D
Oh now they get up and pull us aside
            G                            Em
Saying, "friends, isn't love such a beautiful ride?"
    C                       D
I try not to shrug, say, "sure, man, it's fine,"
           G                 Em
Take the quickest route outside

[Chorus]
                C                                 G
Where all the birds are picking seed from the sidewalk
 Em             C                            G
My speech is slurred but I keep trying hard to talk
  Em                C                          G
You've lost your patience for the crooked way I walk
        Em             Am                   D7
Though you say we're fine, you keep on constantly checking the time
