[Verse 1]
C                      Am
I've no wish to hurry you luv
A                                       Am
But have you seen the time
C                          F
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to
G
Be there at nine
F                             G
I don't think the registrar
F                         G
Will be very pleased
F                           G
When we show up an hour late
C                           Am A
Like two frozen peas

[Verse 2]
C                  Am
Both now facing for the first time
A                     Am
Presently and past
F
Something that begins with m
C
And ends in alas
F
More than not complete disaster
G                        C
Even from the start
F                    G
What could it be

[Refrain]
G    C               Am A
It's matrimony

[Verse 3]
C                      Am
I know how you've dreamt about
A                    Am
Being walked down the aisle
C                     F
But think of the money we'll save
G
And you'll see it's worthwhile
F                               G
It won't please our mums and dads
F                                G
But they don't even know,
F                              G
Besides if they did what's the betting
C                             Am A
They wouldn't even go

[Verse 4]
C                      Am
You and me are all that matters
A                   Am
Disregard the rest
F
Trust your soon to be old man
C
He knows what is best
F
Very shortly now there's going to be
G                      C
An answer from you
F                      G
Then one from me

[Refrain]
G       C             Am A
That's matrimony

I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
F                      C
That have made me so glad
F                                   C
Every other hour that I spend with you
                      F
Is not in the least bit sad
G                                 F
Quite the opposite in fact
                      Am
And if you don't believe me
E
Here's the proof
E              F               G        F C
Ask me if I and I'll say "aye, I do"

You and me are all that matters
A                  Am
Disregard the rest
F
Trust your soon to be old man
C
He knows what is best
F
Very shortly now there's going to be
G                C
An answer from you
F                          G
Then one from me

[Refrain]
G        C               Am A
That's matrimony
