Verse 1
(B minor) (G major) (B minor) (G major) My
(B minor) Father sits
at night with (G major) no lights on
(B minor) His cigarette glows in (G major) the dark
(D minor) The living room is still,
(C major) I walk by, no remark (A minor)
I (C minor) (G major) (D major) tip (B minor) toe past the
master (G major) bedroom
where my (B minor) mother reads her magazines. (G major)
(D minor) I hear her call sweet dreams,
(C major) but I forget how to (A minor) dream. (E flat major) (G major)
(F major) But you say it's time we
(E minor) moved in together
an (D minor) d raised a family of our (C major) own,
you and me.
Well, (F major) that's the way I've
always (E minor) heard it should be
You want to (A major) marry me
(D major) We'll marry
My friends from college,
they're (G major) all married now
They (D major) have their houses
and (G major) their lawns (D minor)
They have their silent noon (C major) s,
tearful nights, angry dawn (A minor) (C minor) (G major) s
(D major) The children hate (B minor) them
for (G major) the things they're not
They (D major) hate themselves for what (G major) they are
(D minor) And yet they drink, they laugh,
(C major) close the wound, hide the (A minor) scar (E flat major) (G major)
(F major) But you say it's time we
(E minor) moved in together
an (D minor) d raised a family of our (C major) own,
you and me.
(F major) Well, that's the way
I've always (E minor) heard it should be.
You want to (A major) marry me
We'll (D major) marry
Here (G major) (D major) (G major)
You (D major) say (B minor) that we can (G major) 't keep our love alive
(D major) Babe, all I know (B minor) is what I (G major) see
All I know is what I (D minor) see
The couples cling and claw, (C major)
and drown in love's (G major) debris (F major) (D major) (C minor) (G major)
You (D major) say you'll soar like two
bird (G major) s through the clouds
(D major) But (B minor) soon you'll cage me on (G major) your shell
Oh, (D minor) I'll never learn to be (C major) just
me first by (A flat major) myself (F major)
Well, okay, it's time we
(E minor) moved in together
(D minor) And raised a family of our (C major) own,
you and me
Well, (F major) that's the way
I've always (E minor) heard it should be
You want to (A major) marry me
We'll marry (D major) you
That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
