E   
Standing at the altar
         C#m
With his bride to be beside
A
Through the stained glass window
     B7sus4
Came down a beam of light
   E 
The weight of the commitment
      C#m      
Poured over him with fear
     A
Like ice cream in a filling
        B7sus4
Now the future's finally here

 C#           C#sus4
His soul had been replenished
F#m              F#7sus4  F#m
By the words the vicar read
C#            C#sus4
The organist dissected
Bm              Bsus4     Bm
All the pieces she'd been fed

A  B        E  
O--pen your hands
                 C#m
Where once was a steeple
A     Ammaj7 Am6
Then  look   within
C#m           Bm11  
At all of the people
A  E/G#     F#m   
Family and friends

E
The choir pitched in early
       C#m
As his heart began to rip
       A
His anxiety was swollen
          B7sus4
With the quiver of a lip
E
He looked around the chapel
        C#m
Seeing everybody there
    A                            B7sus4
He slowly fell to pieces and was only too aware

C#            C#sus4
The vows were something special
F#m              F#7sus4
So much deeper than he'd thought
C#            C#sus4
Commitment bound in footsteps
Bm              B7sus4     Bm
That would be a lifelong walk


A  B        E  
O--pen your hands

E                                C#m
Standing in the picture with his family all around
A               
Proud to see their Father
         B7sus4
Finally put the anchor down
E                             C#m
She had offered amnesty for a multitude of sins
A                                     B7sus4
Through the stained glass window her love shone down on him
