Standard (EADGBE)

  I felt a love of such deafening weight

Dangling from a ballustrade of shilly-shally

Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy

  Of you lying next to me

And in a peculiar way you clutched me

  By the shoulder, said "Boy I barely know you

  but would you marry me?"

Chorus

:

  We were floating about with our heads in the clouds

  And stealing those words from my mouth

  You whispered in my ear

  Exactly what I wanted to hear

  I composed a note of such jubilant things

And placed it between bed and spring

  Of a hostile hostel overrun with

  Shedding towelettes

  and Mexican maids

  and with indefinite fate I clutched you by the shoulder

  and said "Girl, I barely know you...

  but would you marry me?"

[Repeat Chorus]

then go from that last G to G7 , C ,then

  Exactly what I wanted to hear

  Exactly what I wanted to hear
