[Verse 1]
D5
Marry me
       G5                 A5
I am a boy and you are a girl
          D5
Or so I've been told
                G5                 A5
I know it's the same all over the world
          D5
The story is old
F#5              B5
I could stand to be your man
F#5              B5
I could stand to be your man
         A5
From now on

[Verse 2]
Marry me
You are a woman I am a man
Bury me
I must die first, you understand
And I couldn't stand to be your man
I couldn't stand to be your man
I couldn't stand to be your man
Alone

[Verse 3]
Marry me
You are a girl and I am a boy
Fair is she
Why must I love what I must destroy?
I was sent to be your man
Yes I was sent to be your man
I was sent to be your man
From now on

[Verse 4]
Marry me
So we may snuff out everything we've ever cared about
I have no doubt
That this will sting; no one will be spared

[Bridge]
B5          F#5
Without our love,
             B5     F#5
We'd just be normal people
B5       F#5
Marching forward
B5     F#5      A5
Normal people? Who?
( A5 )
You and me?
           D5
No it can't be!

[Instrumental]
D5 , D5 (9 fr.), D5 (7 fr.) (x3)
D5

[Verse 5]
Marry me
I am a boy and you are a girl
Or so I've been told
I know it's the same
All over the world
The story is old
