Happiest Day Of Your Life

G
I still recall
Em                          C
The awful clanging of those wedding bells
D                           G
I prayed your Billy would go straight to hell
C    D      G
That Sunday morning

G
Yes I did compete
Em                             C
With the heart of a fool but I must retreat
D                        G
Go back to Nashville lay down in the street
C    D     G
As a final warning

G
Your love is gone
D                      C
For me, for you, and for everyone
D                       G
Kidnap the moon, assassinate the sun
C    D        G
It's time for mourning

C
Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat
D
I can stand the riots in the city streets
Em                                     C
My love for you will stand the test of time
             D
The happiest day of your life
        C     D      G
Was the worst day of mine

G C D G

G
I stood in the park
D                       C
Like a photograph until way after dark
D                           G
In a rented suit holding my homeless heart
C      D        G
In the freezing summer

G
Could not stand the test
D                       C
Choked on the words, 'I wish you the best'
D                      G
Walked away and put my gifts with the rest
C      D       G
But my box was empty

C
Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat
D
I can stand the riots in the city streets
Em                                     C
My love for you will stand the test of time
             D
The happiest day of your life
        C     D      G
Was the worst day of mine

G C D G

G
Eighty-six Fahrenheit
D                    C
I stand alone in the punishing light
D                          G
Burning the thought of you out of my mind
C   C        G
But it ain't working

G
I love you babe
D                          C
First time I said it I was so afraid
D                        G
Wish I'd said it on your wedding day
C          D    G
Life would be amazing

C
Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat
D
I can stand the riots in the city streets
Em                                     C
My love for you will stand the test of time
             D
The happiest day of your life
        C     D      G
Was the worst day of mine
