Em D C#m7b5 A C G (x4) [Verse 1]
C    G    C       G
Cath, she stands 

C             G                C  G
  With a well intentioned-man 

        C    G  C    G
But she can’t relax 

         C           G            C     G
With his hand on the small of her back
[Verse 2]
           C G        C       G
And as the flashbulbs burst, 

    C       G      C  G
She holds a smile 

     C             G     C  G
Like someone would hold 

  C             G  C  G
A crying child
[Chorus]
Em                D        C#m7b5 A    C            G  C  G
    And soon everybody will ask what became of you 

Em                      D   C#m7b5  A            C            G   C  G
    When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
C G (x4) [Verse 3]
C    G   C      G
Cath, it seems 

         C               G             C  G 
That you live in someone else’s dream 

     C       G            C      G
In a hand-me-down wedding dress 

         C                    G         C          G
With the things that could’ve been, all repressed
[Verse 4]
        C               G  C  G
But you said your vows 

        C                G  C  G
And you closed the door 

      C         G  C  G
On so many men 

             C               G  C  G   
Who would’ve loved you more
[Chorus]
Em                D        C#m7b5 A    C            G  C  G
    And soon everybody will ask what became of you 

Em                      D    C#m7b5  A            C            G   C  G
    When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do

Em               D            C#m7b5 A          C              C/B  A
    The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews 

Em                           D         C#m7b5 A                  
    But if their hearts were dying that fast they’d have done 

                                               C            G  C  G
                                           the same as you 

                  C       G    C  G
And I’ve done the same as you
