Lori McKenna - Good Marriage
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G
Nobody throws rice anymore
C
Walking out those chapel doors
G
But the limo’s dragging empty beer cans
D C G
And your heart is full of small town plans
[Verse 2]
C G
The house sure needs a little work
C
Full of hand me down furniture
G
Tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade
D C G
Half the time, half the bills get paid
[Chorus]
C
If it’s a long kiss in the hallway
G
That takes away your breath
C
If it’s something you would die for
G
And it scares you half to death
Em
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen
C
But then it takes you up to bed
G C G C G
Then it’s a good marriage
[Verse 3]
C G
Nobody gets to sleep anymore
C
Rocking babies and pacing floors
G
And it’s a full blown miracle just to find the time
D C G
To make some love on a Friday night
[Chorus]
C
If it’s a very fragile rope
G
Placed through the eye of a needle like a thread
C
If it’s out in the middle of a storm somewhere
G
Dangling off a ledge
Em
If it yells sometimes in the kitchen
C
Then takes back every word it said
G C G C G
Then it’s a good marriage
[Verse 4]
C G
Nobody said that love was an easy thing
C
That ain’t the promise that comes with a wedding ring
G
Until death do us part, through rich and poor
D C G
And nobody throws rice anymore
[Chorus]
C
If it’s a long kiss in the hallway
G
That takes away your breath
C
If it’s something you would die for
G
And it scares you half to death
Em
If it fights sometimes in the kitchen
C
But then it takes you up to bed
G
Then it’s a good marriage
C Em G C G
A damn good marriage
