Everyone Watched the Wedding Jim Cuddy
::Intro::
G - D/F# - em - C - D
::Verse #1::
[G]Sister?s got her baby now and I?m [D/F#]glad for what she did
em
But her older one?s in trouble, man I really love that kid
M[C]aybe he could live here, for [D]us it would be nice
He ne[C]eds some time to grow up, needs a f[D]ather in his life
::Verse #2::
[G]Me I guess I?m lucky, m[D/F#]ine have almost grown
em
It?s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
I re[C]member nights just lying there, [D]worrying a while
I l[C]ook across the room now, and I[D] see them and I smile
::Verse #3::
[G]All we ever want at night?s our[D/F#] families to be safe
em
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
We kno[C]w that there?s no promises, n[D]o no guarantees
So we pra[C]y and pray and pray at night wh[D]atever will be will be
::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
[G]Everyone watched the wedding, two people in[D/F#] love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
They?re[D] not like you and me[C], they were destined [D]to be
Oh everyone watched the wed[G]ding, couldn?t get en[D/F#]ough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking do[D]wn on all the royal f[C]uss Monday we were back upon the b[D]us
D[C]riving through the neighbourhoods and fa[D]ctories that are us
That o[C]ne day, hope was all that we could s[D]ee
G D/F# em
And they looked so beautiful to me
Hope was all that we could [C]see
And they looked so b[D]eautiful to [G]me
::Interlude::
G - D/F# - em - D - C - D
::Verse #4::
Oh s[G]ister I am tapped out, this [D/F#]month is really bad
em
Can you hold on through May and then I?ll give you what I have
[C]Everything is going up, b[D]usiness going down
I?ve been[C] through this so many times it alw[D]ays comes around
::Verse #5::
My bro[G]ther he?s a charmer, a s[D/F#]nake with a silver tongue
em
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don?t know where he?s gone
My mot[C]her she?s a fighter, a[D]lways made her way
She ca[C]n?t believe she worries ab[D]out us all to this day
::Verse #6::
[G]Me I just keep going,[D/F#] guess that I?ll be fine
em
But I can?t believe I keep my head above the waterline
Some peop[C]le round here want to get [D]rich and run away
That?s no[C]t for me no, I?ve got so many reas[D]ons to stay
::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
[G]Everyone watched the wedding, two[D/F#] people in love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
They?re not[D] like you and[C] me, they were destined to[D] be
Oh everyone watched the wed[G]ding, couldn?t get en[D/F#]ough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking down [D]on all the royal f[C]uss Monday we were back upon th[D]e bus
D[C]riving through the neighbourhoods and fa[D]ctories that are us
That [C]knowing all our lives will never[D] be
G D/F# em
But they looked so beautiful to me
All our lives will never[C] be
But they looked so bea[D]utiful to[G] me
::Outro::
G - D/F# - em - C - D - G
