Cath, she sta-nds with a well-intentioned man
4 4 -6 -5 5 4 4 5 5 5 6 4 4 4
But she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back
3 4 4 -6 5 5
And as the flashbulbs burst
-3” 6 3 5 2 6 6 -6 -6 6 4 -3” 5 -4 4
She holds a smile like someone would h-ol-d a crying child
-3” -6 6 6 5 5 5 -4 4 -3” 3 3 5 -4 4
Soon everybody will aaaaaaaask what became of you
-3” -3” -6 6 6 5 5 -5 -4 4 5 -3” -3” -3” 5 6 4 4
Cause your heart was dying faaaaaaaast, you didn't know what to do

Cath, it see-ms that you live in someone else's dream
4 4 -6 -4 5 5 -4 -3”
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
4 4 5 4 5 5 6 4 4 4
Where the things that could have been are repressed
-3” 4 5 -4 4 4 4 6 -6 6
But you said your vows, and you closed the door
4 -4 5 -4 -3” 3 2 4 4 6 -6 6
On so many me-n who would have loved you more
-3” -6 6 6 5 5 5 -4 4 -3” 3 3 5 -4 4
Soon everybody will aaaaaaaask what became of you
-3” -3” -6 6 6 5 5 -5 -4 4 5 -3” -3” -3” 5 6 4 4
Cause your heart was dying faaaaaaaast, you didn't know what to do
-3” -6 6 6 5 5 -6 7 -4 4 -2” -3” -2” -5 6 4
The whispers that it won't laaaaaaast roll up and down the pews
-3” -3” -3” -6 6 6 5 5 5 -4 4 5
But if their hearts were dying that faaaaast,
-3” -2” -3” -2” -5 6 4
They'd have done the same as you
-2” -3” -2” -3” -2” 5 6 4
And I'd have done the same as you
