David Allan Coe – A Marriage Made In Heaven Went To Hell (Guitar)

  G                             D
A marriage me in heaven went to hell before too long

               C                                    G
We should have known that it was too good to be true

C
  To think some someone like her

G             D/F#         Em
  Could leave someone like me

A7                                D
  And steal someone like him away from you

    G                           D
Now here we sit together crying on each other's shoulders

       C                               G
Asking how a love so right could go so wrong

C
  The more we talked

                 G   D/F#         Em
The more we realized    we had in common

A7                                 D
  We'd be better off now with them gone

   G                                 D
We both agreed we never thought we'd see the day somebody else

      C                               G
Could take away the love that felt so real

C
  And as we touched each other's hands

G          D/F#         Em
  We swore we could not understand

A7                             D
  The way a cheating situation feels

G                            D
As we walked each other home we promised that we'd telephone

   C                                G
If either of us found out what went wrong

C
  We saw how weak they really were

G          D/F#      Em
  the more we were together

A7                        D
  Once we were together we were strong

    G                              D
You said you'd never take him back   and I could live without her

C                                        G
But by then we knew what love was all about

         C
We could even see how they got in

    G    D/F#        Em
Too deep     to ever turn back

A7                                   D
  And once they started there was no way out

   G                            D
We analyzed the feelings coming to the same conclusions

         C                                    G
They experienced when they found our love was blind

          C
Just like when we started out

         G      D/F# Em
to get a little satisfaction

A7                                     D
  We never thought our love was on the line

   G                                D
We told ourselves how easy it would be to just forgive them

       C                             G
But we both agreed we never could forget

C
  The hurt and pain it took

           G      D/F#       Em
To get the two of us together

A7                                      D
That's something that we're still not over yet

    G                                 D
The more we tried to hurt them in the same way they'd hurt us

             C                                G
It seems the more we couldn't stand to be apart

C
Even after we both

   G          D/F#      Em
Realized we'd gotten even

A7                                        D
  We couldn't stand to break each other's hearts

G                                 D
  A marriage me in heaven went to hell before too long

               C                                    G
We should have known that it was too good to be true

C
  To think some someone like her

G             D/F#         Em
  Could leave someone like me

A7                              D
  And steal someone like him away from you

    G                           D/F#
Now here we sit together crying on each other's shoulders

C                                                 G
  Wondering how a love so right could go so wrong
