            Cadd9        G 
Want him to have and to hold 
        Cadd9       G       D 
All you think about is the party 

     G         Cadd9         G 
The house, the white picket fence 
          Cadd9       G 
Two kids, fuck the expense 
            Cadd9      G            D 
Hot Husband always prepared to say sorry 
 

 
     Am                                  D 
You thought you were so right and oh so wise 
     Am                               D G/B D 
You didnt know your life would be a compromise 
 

 
 C 
You thought you knew it all 

Love would get you through it all 
     G 
How could you see the writing on the wall

You wont be here forever 

But youll get through it together 
          G                                  D

It takes years, thats the thing about marriage

Trying to find a voice of your own 
               Cadd9      G      D 
Wonder if your best years are behind you 

          G   Cadd9       G 
Here you are, mother and wife 
                       Cadd9      G 
Scared to say you need more of a life 
            Cadd9     G       D 
You cant ignore the voice inside you 
 

 
         Am                          D 
He says life begins at 40, thats a lie

One minute youre in love with him

The next you wish hed die
