[Intro] D [Verse 1]
    D               G                 D
The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink

    D                     G                     D
She come back and said to me "Well, what do you think?"

             Em            G
I said "I've made myself a fool

        Em                Bm   A
For the naughtiest girl in school"
[Chorus]
    G                    A             D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?

     Em             G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride
[Verse 2]
  D                  G                 D
I put on my suit and smile for the big day

      D                     G             D
But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away

            Em                    G
And as they solemnly said "You'll do"

    Em                Bm               A
Her mother said "That should have been you"
[Chorus]
    G                    A             D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?

     Em             G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride
[Bridge]
       Em           G
At the mercy of the moon

    Em                G  Bm  A  A  G  G  G  A
The boy who spoke too   soon
D [Verse 3]
    D               G                D
She married him and destroyed all my hopes

     D                 G
Of a two-up, two-down, two point five

      D
And a dish on the roof for the soaps

  Em                       G
I saw them at the hardware store

Em                   Bm         A
He looked boring and she looked bored
[Chorus]
    G                    A             D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?

     Em             G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride

           G                 A                 D
Well, it's nice to know that someone was on my side

     Em            G             D
Best wishes to the mother of the bride
