Intro: C G Gadd9

Main Riff (C* G):
C* G C G (add9) G

Intro
C* G x4
C* G C* G
Cath, she stands
C* G C* G
With a well-intentioned man
C* G C* G
But she can't relax
C* G C* G
With his hands on the small of her back
C* G C* G
And as the flashbulbs burst
C* G C* G
She holds a smile
C* G C* G
Like someone would hold
C* G C* G
A crying child
Em7 A7sus4 C#d C* G C* G
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
Em7 A7s4 C#d C* G C* G
When your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do
C* G x4
C* G C* G
Cath, it seems
C* G C* G
That you live in someone else's dream
C* G C* G
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
C* G C* G
With the things that could've been, all repressed
C* G C* G
But you said your vows
C* G C* G
And you closed the door
C* G C* G
On so many men
C* G C* G
Who would've loved you more
Em7 A7sus4 C#d C* G C* G
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
Em7 A7s4 C#d C* G Gmaj7 C* G
When your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast they'd have done
C* G Gmaj7 C* G
The same as you
C* G D/G C* G
And I'd have done the same as you
Note: In some videos on youtube of Ben playing this live he plays
C* G(add9) C* G(add9)

during the verse, but it doesn't sound like he's doing that in this version.
