WHY DID I MARRY YOU?

Key: Fm

Fm
I loved you when I met you That’s never gone away
        Bbm
But now we face these challenges from living stay in place
             C#7
Sometimes it just gets crazy I don’t know what to do
                        Fm      C#7                           Fm
That’s when I think…       why did I marry you?

Now we’re stuck together we cannot run away
And use the separation to make us feel OK
I take my own frustration  find fault with what you do
That’s when I think…why did I marry you?

It seems we’ve stuffed the issues and they’re coming up real fast
I start to lose my sight of you start thinking we won’t last
That starts my wounds to calling me they question what is true
That’s when I think…why did I marry you?

So I breathe and ask for quiet time when we can freely share
To speak our hurts and angry fears to fin’ly clear the air
We rediscover common ground and work the issues through
And then we say…That’s why I married you

       Bbm                        Fm
 For times like these when we unify our hearts as one
   C#7                               Fm
 We stand together we see just what we are made of
    Bbm                          Fm
 In times like these no matter what comes raining down
  C#7                  Fm
 We realign our hearts together  and live our love

We find the affirmations to return us to the time

When we built our strong foundation to keep our love aligned

We trust that we will navigate and rise up now renewed

And celebrate …That’s why I married you


 Chorus
