Vanessa Carlton - I Dont Want To Be A Bride

C Am
i like your company , got a new philosophy
F G
never knew such a gentleman
C Am
and you can take me on a cheap vacation
F
i don’t want to have expectations
G
’cause you could be the end of me

Am F
and i don’t need a house on a hill , a swing on a tree
G C
a grandfather clock , porcelain for tea
Am F
a garden with rose and jasmine
G
i wanna get drunk on a bottle of wine
F
no better way to pass the time
Am F
forever by your side

C
but i don’t want to be a bride
Am
apologies to your mother
F G
but i could be your girl and share this life with you
C
but i don’t want to wear white
Am
you know it’s too late for that
F
can we keep the ever after?
G
oh , could it be?

C
don’t need no golden ring
Am
it’d be no match for the love you’d bring
F G
from london to tennessee
C
and we could catch a train to another life
Am
on a whim under the moonlight
F G
i promise you , will you promise me?

F
our last names on a wooden sign
G
arm in arm where the river starts to wind
Am F
forever by your side

C
but i don’t want to be a bride
Am
apologies to each other
F G
but i could be your girl and share this life with you
C
but i don’t want to wear white
Am
you know it’s too late for that
F
can we keep the ever after?
G
oh , could it be?
Em
just you and me
G
ah , ah , ah

C F G
we will live like kings under lavender skies , skies
C F G
we will live like kings under lavender skies , skies
C
we will built a poem we kept a rhyme
Am
wrapped our love in golden twine
F G
we wrote , we wrote a legacy

just you and me
C F G
just like kings under lavender skies , skies
Am ( let fade )
we will
