Tom: G
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
