Can [G]I go [D]where you [C]go?

[G]We could let our [D]friends crash [C]in the living room
[G] This is our [D]place, we made the [C]call

[G]Ladies and gentlemen,
[D]Will you please stand?
[Em]With every guitar string [F]scar on my hand
[C]I take this magnetic [G]force of a man to be [Am]my [D]lover
[G]My heart’s been borrowed and [D]yours has been blue
[Em]All’s well that ends well to [F]end up with you
[C]Swear to be [G]overdramatic and true to [Am]my [D]lover
And [G]you’ll save all your [F]dirtiest jokes [C]for me
And at every [Am]table, I’ll save you a [D] seat, lover
