Intro C Am C Am 

Verse 
C 
A pressed shirt, you tuck it in 
Am              C 
You tie your tie, tie it again 
C 
I put a little curl in my hair 
Am                      C 
Pink on my cheeks, barely there 
C 
A proper skirt, hits at the knee 
F 
A good sweater in wintergreen 
C 
You shake the keys downstairs 
F 
I hit the lights not a minute to spare 
        Am      G                       F 
Slip a five in the Bible for the offering plate 
        Am          G                F 
What a beautiful picture we both make 

C 
You drive, I look out the window 
F 
It’s not right, but nobody says so 
Am 
We walk  in and head to the same pew 
F 
And hold hands, just like we’re supposed to 
C 
But last night you slept on the sofa 
F 
And these days I don’t even know ya 
Am                  G           F 
We fight like hell but nobody knows 
F 
when we’re wearing our church clothes
 

Verse 
C 
We stand up, we sing a hymn 
F 
We say a prayer for other friends 
C 
We’re turning to the Book of John 
F 
And I'm thinking how I can’t go on 
        Am                      G              F 
But we smile, and we give it our Sunday best 
F       Am              G                       F 
If we’re lost, couldn’t tell by the way we’re dressed 

C 
You drive, I look out the window 
F 
It’s not right but nobody says so 
Am 
We walk in, I head to the bedroom 
F 
But you don’t, you do what you want to 
C 
Like last week, when you packed a suitcase 
F 
And came close to getting your own place 
Am              C                  F 
Oh that’s the stuff that nobody knows 
F                                    Am 
when we’re wearing our church clothes 


Bridge 
Am G F 
Am 
Oh we don’t speak 
G                  Fm           C 
Don’t touch as if nobody watching us 
Am                      G 
Lord knows we’ve got it down 
F 
What would they say, if we gave up 

C 
You drive, I look out the window 
F 
It’s not right but nobody says so 
Am              G                       F 
We walk in, like we’ve never been so close 
Am              G                       F 
Miles apart, but careful that it don’t show 
F                                       C 
when we’re wearing our church clothes
