[Verse 1]
C               Am/C
I've no wish to hurry you luv
    Asus2/B           Am/C
But have you seen the time
C               F/A
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to
G
Be there at nine
F/A               G
I don't think the registrar
F/A          G
Will be very pleased
F/A                G
When we show up an hour late
C               Am/C    Asus2/B
Like two frozen peas
 
 
[Verse 2]
C               Am/C
Both now facing for the first time
Asus2/B       Am/C
Presently and past
F/A
Something that begins with m
    C7
And ends in alas
F/A
More than not complete disaster
G             C
Even from the start
F/A                  G
What could it be...
 
 
[Refrain]
G    C           Am/C    Asus2/B
It's matrimony
 
 
[Verse 3]
C               Am/C
I know how you've dreamt about
Asus2/B       Am/C
Being walked down the aisle
C            F/A
But think of the money we'll save
                    G
And you'll see it's worthwhile
F/A                 G
It won't please our mums and dads
F/A              G
But they don't even know,
F/A                 G
Besides if they did what's the betting
C                  Am/C  Asus2/B
They wouldn't even go
 
 
[Verse 4]
C               Am/C
You and me are all that matters
Asus2/B       Am/C
Disregard the rest
F/A
Trust your soon to be old man
   C7
He knows what is best
F/A
Very shortly now there's going to be
G              C
An answer from you
F/A              G
Then one from me...
 
 
[Refrain]
G      C          Am/C    Asus2/B
That's matrimony
 
 
[Bridge]
          E                       C7
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
          F/A        C
That have made me so glad
            F/A         C
Every other hour that I spend with you
              F/A
Is not in the least bit sad
G                     F/A
Quite the opposite in fact
                 Am
And if you don't believe me
E
Here's the proof
E         F/A             G      F/A   C7
Ask me if I and I'll say "aye, I do----oo"
