That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be chords for acoustic guitar
Carly Simon 1971 (Carly Simon & Jacob Brackman)

Capo III

G#mMy father sits at night with no lights on
                           C#mHis cigarette glows in the dark.
BmThe living room is still;
A          A7   A     Dm EI walk by, no remark.

G#mI tiptoe past the master bedroom where
                        C#mMy mother reads her magazines.
BmI hear her call sweet dreams,
A            A7     A      Dm EBut I forgot how to dream.

D                        C#mBut you say it's time we moved in together
    D                  C#mAnd raised a family of our own, you and me 
Bm                               C#mWell, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
            Fm              BYou want to marry me, we'll marry.

G#mMy friends from college they're all married now;
                                 C#mThey have their houses and their lawns.
BmThey have their silent noons,
A               A7    A      Dm ETearful nights, angry dawns.

G#mTheir children hate them for the things they're not;
                                   C#mThey hate themselves for what they are
Bm        And yet they drink, they laugh,
A                A7       A     Dm EClose the wound, hide the scar.

D                        C#mBut you say it's time we moved in together
    D                  C#mAnd raised a family of our own, you and me 
Bm                               C#mWell, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
            Fm              BYou want to marry me, we'll marry.

G#mYou say we can keep our love alive
                           C#mBabe  all I know is what I see 
BmThe couples cling and claw
A            A7       A    Dm EAnd drown in love's debris.

G#mYou say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
                                C#mBut soon you'll cage me on your shelf
BmI'll never learn to be just me first
A  A7 A     Dm EBy my self.

D                   C#mBut ok it's time we moved in together
    D                      C#mAnd raised a family of our own, you and me 
Bm                               C#mWell, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
            Fm              BYou want to marry me, we'll marry.
      BWe'll marry.
