[A] Can't she stand with [D] a [A] well-intentioned man?
[D]
[A] But she [D] [A] can't [D] [A] relax with his [D] hand [A] on the small upper back.
And as [D] the flash [A] bulbs burst, [D]
[A] [D] she holds [A] a smile like
[D] someone [A]
would hold a [D] crying [A] child.

[A] [F#m]
[E] Everybody will [D#]
[B] ask what [D] became [A] of you if [D] [A]
[F#m] your heart [E] was dying [D#]
[B] fast.
You didn't [D] know what [A] to do, [D] [A]

[A] but [D] it [A] seems that [D] you lived [A] someone else's dream.
You [D] had a [A] hand-me-down wedding dress with the [D] things that [A] could have been all repressed.
But [D] you said your
[A] vows [B]
[A] when [D] you closed the door [A] [B]
[A] on so many men who would have [D] loved you [A] more.
[F#m] And soon [E] everybody [D#] will [B] ask [A] what became of you if [D] [A]
[F#m]
your heart was [E] dying [D#]
[B] fast.
And you [D] didn't know what to [A] do.

[A] [F#m]
[E] Whistlers that it [D#] won't last will [D] walk you down the queue.
[B]
[F#m] But if your [E] heart were dying [B] that fast, they'd have done the same as [A] you.
[D]
[A] They might have done the same as you.
