[Verse 1]
C F
Well, there’s a feeling in your stomach, a light trembling at the knees
C F
Not even knowing who the lucky fellow might be
D G
Bridesmaids are cleaning the court-house bell
D G
Horse-driven carriages wait patiently in hell
C F
Happiness has been arranged for some time in July
C F
Invitations have been sent, I’m so bitter I could cry
D G
Congratulations flown in from a long-lost friend
D G
For the big occasion regretting that he can’t attend
E A E A
And as family tradition is busy making up your mind
[Pre-chorus]
Em F E
Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud
Em F E
God’s representative mumbles to a tearful crowd
[Chorus]
A D
I now pronounce you
A D
I now pronounce you
[Verse 2]
C F
Mother, father, wake up, you’ve overlooked one thing
C F
The daughter you have planned for years won’t get to wear your ring
D G
Instead she’ll be running off into the dark of night
D G
Straight into the hungry arms that long to hold her tight
C F
There’s a feeling deep inside of you, a feeling that of ease
C F
You’re the sweetest thing that could ever happen for me
D G
The bridesmaids are ringing the court-house bell
D G
Horse-driven carriages try to cover streets to tell
E A E A
And as family tradition is busy making up your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F E
Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud
Em F E
God’s representative mumbles to a tearful crowd
[Chorus]
A D
I now pronounce you
A D
I now pronounce you
[Instrumental]
