None of them
Intro
G Adim7 Em Am/B Am C C/D Cm
Verse
G C G G7 G7sus4
Don't take the following words as reverence for tradition
Am C G Am7 C
I've learned to pick my battles by losing most I've fought
G C G G7 G7sus4
The more mores subverted, the more I sense I'm missing
Am C G Am7 C G Am7 C
And I'll always do it my way, even if it's just the same way I was taught
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
I'll bring home the bread, and you'll stay home and bake it
Am/B Am C G Am7 C
Weeding out the garden where the milestones gather moss
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
Crack a smile at my vows and whisper, “wow, can you believe we really made it?”
Am/B Am C G G7 G7sus4
As I give up on dodging rice and fold my cape, I say “obviously not.”
Chorus
Am/B Am C G G7 G7sus4
But I want to be just like my parents before I was born
Am/B Am C G Am7 C G C
Oh, can we be just like my parents? Mmh
Verse
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
I know you don't want kids, but think about a daughter
Am/B Am C G Am7 C
We could name her Gwendolyn, like mom would’ve called me
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
I'm not sure yet myself, but I learned from a good father
Am/B Am C G Am7 C G Am7 C
Yeah, I mean, sure, they messed me up, but I think that's just the gig
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
And maybe it's just some hormones that kick in in your late twenties
Am/B Am C G Am7 C
But I have laid a lot of women, now I'd like to just lay down
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
And marriage always scared me, but I'd like to have a last love
Am/B Am C G G7 G7sus4
And love can last a pretty good long while. I've seen it around
Chorus
Am/B Am C G G7 G7sus4
Oh, can we be just like my parents when I was young?
Am/B Am C G Am7 C G Am7 C
Why can't we be just like my parents? Mmh
Bridge
G Adim7 Em Am/B Am C C/D Cm
Am/B Am C
So tongue out of my cheek now, I'm done pulling faces
G Adim7
Iconoclasm wanes, my cynicism tires.
Em Am/B Am
But what do I know about forever, when so far I’ve been so fleeting?
C D7
Babe, my frontal lobe’s done growing, this might just be how I’m wired.
Am/B Am C
But now we're kissing before brushing, smile with our whole faces
G Adim7
If you want a hyphen last name I guess I don't mind the cadence
Em Am/B Am
I've seen home videos, I was there back in the 80's
C D7
And if I'm just them, and they back then could do it, why can't I?
Chorus
Am C G G7 G7sus4
Just like my parents in due time
Am C G Am7 C G Am7 C
Imagine me, just like my parents. Yeah, right!
Outro
G Am7 C G G7 G7sus4
‘Cause I’ve made more mistakes than simple empty moments. Uohhh
Am/B Am C G C
Each one as out of character as you know I tend to be
G G7 C Cm
There’ll be scalpers at the cemetery gates, with all my would-be widows weeping. Ohh
Am/B Am C G Am7 C G Am7 C
I’d have forgotten all their names, so why should you remember me?
G C G G7 G7sus4
If we grow old together, will you talk to my headstone?
Am C G C C/D
That is assuming that I die first (which is fair), and assuming I don't leave
G C G G7 G7sus4
Close enough to forever, I guess, to prove what I hope
Adim7 D7 G Adim7 Em Am/B Am C C/D Cm G
I mean, otherwise how am I to believe?
