I got your wedding invitation.

A                            E G E
I'm surprised you thought of me.

      Bm                 E      G E
But I don't believe your wedding,

E                        A  D A
is just where I ought to be.
#2.
A                                Am A
For you put your arms around her,

A                      E  G E
kiss her lips so tenderly.

         Bm               E       G E
As she's standing there beside you,

E           Dbm              A   D A
that's just where I ought to be.
CHORUS:
A                  D
Like a fool I introduced you.

                      A
I said, baby, meet my friend.

                      D
Never thought I could lose you.

                         E
But I lost you there and then.

           A                        C A
I took the diamond ring you gave me.

A                       E   G E
Threw it way out in the sea.

      Bm           E       G E
And I had an awful feeling..

E                            A  D A
that's just where I ought to be.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum..

E                         G E
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dee-dum..

E                   A   D A
Da-da-dee-da-dee-da-dum..
