I Swore I Wouldnt Do This

Ab Eb There are flowers around the alter and flowers in her hair Fm Ab The smell of fine cologne and perfume fills the air Db Ab Eb Fm The groom's picture perfect in his tailored suit of black Db Ab Eb Ab And her mother turns a ghostly white as I sit down in back Eb Ab Oh I swore I wouldn't do this, I swore a thousand times Eb Ab Db Ab I wouldn't put her through this but I guess I changed my mind Ab Eb Fm All the world keeps telling me that I just missed the boat Db Ab Eb Ab But I can't stop believing that theres still some kind of hope Ab Eb Everything is just the way she told me it would be Fm Ab But the man that stands beside her sure as hell ain't me Db Ab Eb Fm This is not my family and that's not my best man Db Ab Eb Ab I'm stuck in back, I'm choking back the tears the best I can Eb Ab Oh I swore I wouldn't do this, I swore a thousand times Eb Ab Db Ab I wouldn't put her through this but I guess I changed my mind Ab Eb Fm All the world keeps telling me that I just missed the boat Db Ab Eb Ab But I can't stop believing that theres still some kind of hope Db Ab Eb Ab When the preacher says speak now or forever hold your peace Db Ab Eb I force myself to close my eyes sit tight and grit my teeth Db Ab Eb Fm But it's more that I can stand when the groom says I do Db Ab Eb I stand up in the back and say dammit I do to Eb Ab Oh I swore I wouldn't do this, I swore a thousand times Eb Ab Db Ab I wouldn't put her through this but I guess I changed my mind Ab Eb Fm All the world keeps telling me that I just missed the boat Db Ab Eb Ab But I can't stop believing that theres still some kind of hope
