C                G 
We cut the cake, everybody danced 
    Am 
and some people drank too much 
    C                        G 
You looked like the cover of Brides magazine 
    Am 
and I looked like some guy in the tux 
     C 
I'll never forget 
     G 
when your Uncle Bill 
 Am 
pulled up a chair and sat down 
       F 
He said son I've been married now 
               G2         
45 years and he pointed at you through the crowd 
 
And said 
 
 
C2                  F 
Love her like she's leaving 
          C2                      G2 
Like it's all going to end if you don't 
C2                  F 
Love her like she's leaving 
       C2              C 
Oh and I guarantee she won't 
 
             C 
He said it's sending her flowers 
       G 
for no reason at all 
    Am 
and notes on the fridge every day 
   F 
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time,  
 G 
that keep the lawyers away 
      C             G 
It's easy to take forever for granted 
     Am 
with tin cans tied to your car 
F 
I know she tells you that she'll always be there 
    G 
but I'm telling you if you're smart 
 
You'll
 
Chorus 
 
 Gsus4                      C 
She could have any man she wants you know it's true 
 Gsus4                                      G 
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting you 
 
Solo:  C G F C G 
 
 
Chorus 
 
end on: C
