And then you say, (F)“I want you for (C)worse or for bet ter.
(Bb)I would wait for ev er and ev er.

I’ll (C)put it back to geth er.
(Bb)I would wait for ev er and ev er.”

That’s how you get the (Bb)girl, girl.
Re mind me how it (C5)used to ing from the (Bb)be, be,
with pic tures in the (C5)frames of kiss es on in (Bb)cheeks, cheeks.
Tell her how you must have (C)lost your (Bb)mind
when you left her all a (C5)lone and nev er told her why, why.
And that’s how it (F)works,
