Everyone Watched The Wedding

::Intro::
G - D/F# - em - C - D

::Verse #1::
G D/F#
Sister�s got her baby now and I�m glad for what she did
em
But her older one�s in trouble, man I really love that kid

C D
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice
C D
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life


::Verse #2::
G D/F#
Me I guess I�m lucky, mine have almost grown
em
It�s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
C D
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while
C D
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile


::Verse #3::
G D/F#
All we ever want at night�s our families to be safe
em
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
C D
We know that there�s no promises, no no guarantees
C D
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be


::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G D/F#
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
D C D
They�re not like you and me, they were destined to be
G D/F#
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn�t get enough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
D C D
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
C D
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
C D
That one day, hope was all that we could see
G D/F# em
And they looked so beautiful to me
C
Hope was all that we could see
D G
And they looked so beautiful to me

::Interlude::
G - D/F# - em - D - C - D

::Verse #4::
G D/F#
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad
em
Can you hold on through May and then I�ll give you what I have
C D
Everything is going up, business going down
C D
I�ve been through this so many times it always comes around


::Verse #5::
G D/F#
My brother he�s a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue
em
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don�t know where he�s gone
C D
My mother she�s a fighter, always made her way
C D
She can�t believe she worries about us all to this day


::Verse #6::
G D/F#
Me I just keep going, guess that I�ll be fine
em
But I can�t believe I keep my head above the waterline
C D
Some people round here want to get rich and run away
C D
That�s not for me no, I�ve got so many reasons to stay


::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G D/F#
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
D C D
They�re not like you and me, they were destined to be
G D/F#
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn�t get enough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
D C D
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
C D
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
C D
That knowing all our lives will never be
G D/F# em
But they looked so beautiful to me
C
All our lives will never be
D G
But they looked so beautiful to me

::Outro::
G - D/F# - em - C - D - G
