Verse 1:
F5
You were unaware that 

diamonds came with debt
                           Bb5
Ironic sure but that's the way it 
          C5                F5
is got my vows off the internet
F5
You say crying weakens my immune system
                             Bb5
But don't forget that if you pray for me 
                      C5
I'll pray for you and cash flow too why 
F5                 Bb5
not? I said if you pray for me i'll pray 
            C5                C#5  Eb(hold)
for you and cash flow too why not?


Chorus 1:
        F5
It was a black wedding
    Eb5
you could hear the organs not
C#5
  The violins or the words 
the pope was saying
        F5
It was a black wedding you
Eb5
could hear the organs but
C#5
  No drunken snoring 
or real hallelujahs
F5
Telling people 
               Eb5
stories of the devil
    C#5
But most said they 
wouldn't last a winter
      F5
It was a black wedding
Eb5
    Your girl has 
blessings all around


Interlude: F5


Verse 2:
F5
So you're finally 
viewing this at 5 foot 6
                         Bb5
it's not roses like your mama said
      C5               F5
We're not spoon fed anymore
             F5
So you gonna tell
All our kids I was an accident
Ironic true but it's the 
Bb5
way you act when you're upset
   C5                 C#5
So let's take this outside
                        Ab5
We see our mirrors from outside
                        Bb5
and he said we are what we cry
Ab5                       Eb5
  we stay hidden for all our lives


Chorus 2:
        F5
It was a black wedding
    Eb5
you could hear the organs not
C#5
  The violins or the words 
the pope was saying
        F5
It was a black wedding you
Eb5
could hear the organs but
C#5
  No drunken snoring 
   Ab5
or real hallelujahs
F5
Telling people 
               Eb5
stories of the devil
    C#5
But most said they 
wouldn't last a winter
      F5
It was a black wedding
Eb5
    Your girl has 
blessings all around

What else is there to

What else is there to 
know when our bible's here?
There are no lies to find 
when the page is bare
What else is there to know 
when your tax is shared?


Verse 3:
   C#5
outside we're seeing
             Ab5
mirrors from outside
and he said we

are what we tried
                   Eb5
we stay hidden all our lives
