That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
Carly simon & Jacob Brackman
From the 1971 Album carly simon

Transposed By Clive Sax

This is arranged for my voice. To play in the same key as Carly simon Transpose down 6 half steps
so the Em becomes Bm

Em C
My father sits at night with no lights on
Em C
His cigarette glows in the dark
Gm7
The living room is still
Fmaj7 Dm7 DbMaj7 C
I walk by, no remark
Em C
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
Em C
My mother reads her magazines
Gm7
I hear her call sweet dreams
Fmaj7 Dm7 DbMaj7 C
But I forgot how to dream

Bb Am
But you say it's time we moved in together
Gm7 Fmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bb Am
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
D Gmaj7
You want to marry me, we'll marry

Em C
My friends from college they're all married now
Em C
They have their houses and their lawns
Gm7
They have their silent noons
Fmaj7 Dm7 DbMaj7 C
Tearful nights, angry dawns
Em C
Their children hate them for the things they're not
Em C
They hate themselves for what they are
Gm7
And yet they drink, they laugh
Fmaj7 Dm7 DbMaj7 C
Close the wound, hide the scars

Bb Am
But you say it's time we moved in together
Gm7 Fmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bb Am
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
D Gmaj7
You want to marry me, we'll marry

Em C
You say that we can keep our love alive
Em C
Babe, all I know is what I see
Gm7
The couples cling and claw
Fmaj7 Dm7 DbMaj7 C
And drown in love's debris
Em C
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
Em C
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
Gm7 Fmaj7
I'll never learn to be just me first
Dm7 DbMaj7 C
By myself

Bb Am
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
Gm7 Fmaj7
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Bb Am
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
D Gmaj7
You want to marry me, we'll marry
