You were unaware that 

diamonds came with debt

Fm
You say crying weakens my immune system
                             Bbm
But don't forget that if you pray for me 
                      Cm
I'll pray for you and cash flow too why 
Fm                 Bbm

        Fm
It was a black wedding

Eb/G
could hear the organs but
C#
  No drunken snoring 
or real hallelujahs
Fm
Telling people 
               Eb/G
stories of the devil

But most said they 
wouldn't last a winter

It was a black wedding

    Your girl has 
blessings all around

All our kids I was an accident
Ironic true but it's the 
Bbm
way you act when you're upset
   Cm                 C#
So let's take this outside
                        Ab
We see our mirrors from outside

Ab                       Eb
  we stay hidden for all our lives
