For better or worse

For rich or for poor

                Bb7
My husband has delivered on the rich part

        Eb                    Ebm
But the better, I’m not sure

                             Bb
And then to learn my soldier has returned

        C
It’s a blessing and a curse

          Ebm
Is it for better or for worse
[Verse 2]
                Bb
To have and to hold

           Bbmaj7
Till death do us part

                   Bb7
So certain that my soldier had been lost

     Eb                     Ebm
And with him half my heart

                               Bb
I spoke those words to gain security

       C
It was maybe a mistake

And the only choice to make
[Chorus]
F         Gm
 And so I built a home

Ebsus2
 Beyond my childhood dreams

 I built a perfect place to stay

         F
Locked away.
[Verse 3]
              Bb
For better or worse

                 Bbmaj7
When we came out east

                     Bb7
I learned that it is not what feels the best

      Eb
It is what will hurt the least

Ebm                         Bb
When I thought that I might start again

        C
Got the thought out of my head

      Ebm
Had a child with him instead
[Chorus]
F        Gm               Eb
 I knew I had to build a home and make it last

F           Gm               Eb
 And fill it up with all the reasons

        Eb   Gm/D   F/C     F
 Not to think about the past
[Bridge]
   Bb                                               Bb
We danced with those soldiers like they were ghosts

  F                                  Gm
We kissed them with unspoken last goodbyes

      Eb                  Bb
So certain that they were gone

    Eb                         F
We mourned them and then moved on

        Ab              Eb              F
Hoping half a heart's enough to build upon
[Verse 4]
              Bb
For better or worse

              Bbmaj7
My vows have been made

                    Bb7
I’m smart enough to know
I’d lose everything
Eb
If i ever strayed

Ebm                      Bb
All the while my husband has his fun

        C
And the roles do not reverse

Ebm
Its for the better and the worst
Bb Bbmaj7 Bb7 Eb Ebm [Outro] A melody drifting across the bay
  Bb
A song of a summer from long ago

   Gm              F
A chorus that amplifies

   Gm              F
Every last compromise

     Bb                                  F
What good comes from knowing that he survived

     Gm                                 F
What good comes from knowing what he became

         Eb               F
To know there's an open door

    Eb                    F
Where there wasn't one before

       F
And I wonder what he'd do

                 F Gm Eb    Bb
If I walked through
