Standard (EADGBE)

I felt a love of such deafening weight

Dangling from a ballustrade of shilly-shally

Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy

Of you lying next to me

And in a peculiar way you clutched me

By the shoulder, said "Boy I barely know you

but would you marry me?"

Chorus

:

We were floating about with our heads in the clouds

And stealing those words from my mouth

You whispered in my ear

Exactly what I wanted to hear

I composed a note of such jubilant things

And placed it between bed and spring

Of a hostile hostel overrun with

Shedding towelettes

and Mexican maids

and with indefinite fate I clutched you by the shoulder

and said "Girl, I barely know you...

but would you marry me?"

[Repeat Chorus]

then go from that last G to G7 , C ,then

Exactly what I wanted to hear

Exactly what I wanted to hear
