Even more, I mean, it must have us a better things to do and not avoid a bit to Paul.
Remember Paul, [F#m] you know the man I'm gonna marry.
But I'm not because I wouldn't ruin anyone as wonderful as he is.
[D#] So I thank you all for the gifts and the flowers.

[D#] Pardon me, is
No, that's not right.
Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for.
A wedding?
What's a wedding?
It's a prehistoric ritual [C#m] where everybody promises fidelity forever, which is maybe the most horrifying word I've [A#] ever heard.
And then [F#] the wedding which is followed by a honeymoon will suddenly he'll [F] realize he's saddled with a nun and want [D#] to kill me.
Which he should [F#] to listen.
Thanks a bunch.
But I'm not getting [G#m] married.

Goodbye, go and cry at [F#m] another person's [G#m] wake.
If you're quick for a kick, you can pick up a christening.
But please, on my knees, there's a human [B] life at [A#] stake.
[D#] Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear it.
Do you want [C#] to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of [C#m] you?
It isn't only Paul who may [F#] be ruining this life.
You know, we're both busy losing our identities.
I telephoned my analyst about it.
[F#m] He said to call on Monday.
But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other [C#] garbage.
I'm not well.
So I'm not getting married.
[G#m] You've been swell.

In [Bm] our
[G] hearts.
[F#] As it starts to [B] rain.
[A#m]
[B]
[F#m] Go, can't you [B] go?
Look, you know I adore you all.
But why watch me die?
Like Eliza on the ice.
Look, [G#m] perhaps I'll collapse in the apps right before you all.
So take back the cake, burn the shoes, and boil the rice.
[C#] Look, I didn't want to have to tell you, but I may be coming down with hepatitis.
And I think [F#] I'm gonna [E] faint.
So if you want to see me faint, I'll [F#] do it happily.
Wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral?
So thank you for the 27 dinner plates, 37 butter knives, and 47 pinger wits, and 57 candle holders.
[G#] I am not getting married.
But [G#m] I'm not getting married.
Still, I'm not getting married.
See, I'm not getting married.
