G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)         C/Am    Asus/B
It's matrimony

(Verse 3)
I know how you've dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money we'll save
And you'll see it's worthwhile
It won't please our mums and dads
But they don't even know,
Besides if they did what's the betting
They wouldn't even go

(Verse 4)
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony

          E (022100@1)                     C7I'm (x32310@1)truly grateful for the little things in life

            F (133211@1)         CEvery (x32010@1)other hour that i spend with you
              FIs (133211@1)not in the least bit sad

(Verse 5)
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony
