And ends in alas

More than not complete disaster
G C
Even from the start
F G
What could it be...
G C 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
(Middle)
E C7
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
F C
That have made me so glad
F C
Every other hour that i spend with you
F
Is not in the least bit sad
G F
Quite the opposite in fact
Am
And if you don't believe me
E
Here's the proof
E F G F C7
Ask me if i and i'll say "aye, i do----oo"
(Play 1st verse again without singing then...)
(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
