[C]I did my best and all the rest is [G]hidden by the [Am]clouds,
[G]I can't [F]carry you forever but [G]I can hold you [C]now.
[C]Leaving on your wedding day all [G]calm and dressed in [Am]white,
[F]All I'll keep's the memory of [C]one last crooked [G]night.

[C]Crying in those rumpled sheets like [G]someone's 'bout to [Am]die,
[G]You just [F]watch your mouth when talking 'bout the [G]father of the [C]bride.
[C]Why's your heart grown heavy boy when [G]things were feeling [Am]light,
[F]Turning this June morning into [C]some dark judgement [G]night.
[C]This ain't the end of nothing much it's [G]just another [Am]round,
