Tom: G
G
I thought I fell in love when I was eighteen
Em
With you cruising Main Street dreaming up our lives
C
We had bigger plans than staying there in Jackson
D
Come summertime I made a pretty bride
G
We got married in the Baptist church on State Street
Em
No daddy there to walk me down the aisle
C
My mama never could pin down a good man
D
So I swore to God that we would do things right
[Chorus 1]
G
But marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
C
'Cause the years keep rolling on
G D Em
And all I know for sure
C D
There's so many little ways to break a heart
[Verse 2]
G
Well our demons didn't take too long to show up
Em
Turns out, when I drink I like to fight
C
And then you'd leave the house and wouldn't tell me
D
Where you went to ease your sorrows late at night
G
And we fought for three whole days when I got pregnant
Em
Where I disappeared to, no one knew
C
When I came home, I carried myself different
D
It was all the growing up I had to do
[Chorus 2]
G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
C
The years keep rolling on
G D Em
And all I know for sure
C D
There's so many ways your world can fall apart
[Verse 3]
G
Well, we can't hide our claws, our teeth, our anger
Em
The fire's hot and this could last all night
C
The air is thick with things we haven't said yet
D
But we're saving them for when they burn just right
G
And I hang on to suffering like it's a winning hand
Em
Waiting my turn to cash it all in
C
And how we stayed together I'll never understand
D
Some days I think that God is up there laughing at my plans
[Chorus 3]
G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
C
The years keep rolling on
G D Em
And all I know for sure
C D
There's so many little ways to break a heart
C
The years keep rolling on
G D Em
And all I know for sure
C D G
There's so many ways your world can fall apart
