D    A      D   A
Cath, she stands
D              A          D A
With a well intentioned-man
         D   A   D A
But she can’t relax
          D            A           D  A
With his hand on the small of her back

And as the flashbulbs burst,
She holds a smile
Like someone would hold
A crying child

Chorus:
F#m            E       D#m7-5 B    D          A D A
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
F#m                  E     D#m7-5
When your heart was dying fast and
 B           D           A D A
you didn’t know what to do

Cath, it seems
That you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
Where the things that could have been are oppressed

But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more

Chorus

The whispers that it won't last
Roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast
They'd have done the same as you
And I'd have done the same as you
