Thats The Way Ive Always Heard It Should Be Carly Simon
[Bm]My father sits at night with n[G]o lights on
[Bm]His cigarette glows in the dar[G]k
[Dm7]The living room is still
[Cmaj7]I walk by, no rem[Am7]ark [G]
[Bm]I tiptoe past the master be[G]droom where
[Bm]My mother reads her magazin[G]es
[Dm7]I hear her call sweet dream[Cmaj7]s
[Cmaj7]But I forgot how [Am7]to dream [G]
[F]But you say it's time we mo[Em]ved in together
[Dm7]And raised a family of our o[Cmaj7]wn, you and me
[F]Well, that's the way I've always h[Em]eard it should be
[D]You want to marry me, we'll marry
[Bm]My friends from college they'r[G]e all married now
[Bm]They have their houses and the[G]ir lawns
[Dm7]They have their silent noons
[Cmaj7]Tearful nights,[Am7] angry dawns[G]
[Bm]Their children hate them fo[G]r the things they're not
[Bm]They hate themselves for wh[G]at they are
[Dm7]And yet they drink, they la[Cmaj7]ugh
[Cmaj7]Close the wound, [Am7]hide the scars [G]
[F]But you say it's time we mo[Em]ved in together
[Dm7]And raised a family of our o[Cmaj7]wn, you and me
[F]Well, that's the way I've always h[Em]eard it should be
[D]You want to marry me, we'll marry
[Bm]You say we can keep our love a[G]live
[Bm]Babe, all I know is what I see[G]
[Dm7]The couples cling and claw
[Cmaj7]And drown in love[Am7]'s debris [G]
[Bm]You say we'll soar like two[G] birds through the clouds
[Bm]But soon you'll cage me on [G]your shelf
[Dm7]I'll never learn to be just[Cmaj7] me first
[Cmaj7]By myself [Am7] [G]
[F]Well O.K., it's time we moved [Em]in together
[Dm7]And raised a family of our o[Cmaj7]wn, you and me
[F]Well, that's the way I've always h[Em]eard it should be
[D]You want to marry me, we'll marry
[D]We'll marry

The Bm and G in Tearful nights, angry dawns should be CM7 and Am7 G

The Bm and the G in the lines:
I hear her call sweet dreams
And yet they drink, they laugh
and
I'll never learn to be just me first
should be
Dm7 and Em
