Bm the living room is still; A A7 A Dm E i walk by , no remark . G#m i tiptoe past the master bedroom where C#m my mother reads her magazines . Bm i hear her call sweet dreams , A A7 A Dm E but i forgot how to dream . D C#m but you say it’s time we moved in together D C#m and raised a family of our own , you and me Bm C#m well , that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be : Fm B you want to marry me , we’ll marry . G#m my friends from college they’re all married now; C#m they have their houses and their lawns . Bm they have their silent noons , A A7 A Dm E tearful nights , angry dawns . G#m their children hate them for the things they’re not; C#m they hate themselves for what they are Bm and yet they drink , they laugh , A A7 A Dm E close the wound , hide the scar . D C#m but you say it’s time we moved in together D C#m and raised a family of our own , you and me Bm C#m well , that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be : Fm B you want to marry me , we’ll marry . G#m you say we can keep our love alive C#m babe all i know is what i see Bm the couples cling and claw A A7 A Dm E and drown in love’s debris . G#m you say we’ll soar like two birds through the clouds , C#m but soon you’ll cage me on your shelf Bm i’ll never learn to be just me first A A7 A Dm E by my self . D C#m but ok it’s time we moved in together D C#m and raised a family of our own , you and me Bm C#m well , that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be : Fm B you want to marry me , we’ll marry . B we’ll marry . set8
