Marriage Aint The End Of Being Lonely

G
I thought I fell in love when I was eighteen
         Em
With you cruising Main Street dreaming up our lives
       C
We had bigger plans than staying there in Jackson
     D
Come summertime I made a pretty bride

       G
We got married in the Baptist church on State Street
   Em
No daddy there to walk me down the aisle
   C
My mama never could pin down a good man
     D
So I swore to God that we would do things right


[Chorus 1]

    G
But marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C                                D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
           C
'Cause the years keep rolling on
    G     D        Em
And all I know for sure
           C                           D
There's so many little ways to break a heart


[Verse 2]

         G
Well our demons didn't take too long to show up
Em
Turns out, when I drink I like to fight
    C
And then you'd leave the house and wouldn't tell me
          D
Where you went to ease your sorrows late at night

       G
And we fought for three whole days when I got pregnant
Em
Where I disappeared to, no one knew
     C
When I came home, I carried myself different
       D
It was all the growing up I had to do


[Chorus 2]

       G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C                                D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
    C
The years keep rolling on
    G     D        Em
And all I know for sure
           C                              D
There's so many ways your world can fall apart


[Verse 3]

      G
Well, we can't hide our claws, our teeth, our anger
    Em
The fire's hot and this could last all night
    C
The air is thick with things we haven't said yet
           D
But we're saving them for when they burn just right

    G
And I hang on to suffering like it's a winning hand
Em
Waiting my turn to cash it all in
    C
And how we stayed together I'll never understand
     D
Some days I think that God is up there laughing at my plans


[Chorus 3]

       G
'Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
C                                D
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
    C
The years keep rolling on
    G     D        Em
And all I know for sure
           C                           D
There's so many little ways to break a heart
    C
The years keep rolling on
    G     D        Em
And all I know for sure
           C                             D      G
There's so many ways your world can fall apart
