[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] When a newly married couple hits the dance floor, it's up to the music [Bb] to tell their
special story.
And it had [Cm] better do a good job.
Welcome to WatchMojo.com, [Ab] and today we're counting down our picks for the [Eb] top 10 [Bb] modern wedding songs.
[Cm] For this list, we've decided to stick to songs that were released in or [Ab] after the year 2000,
and that are not [Eb] covers of older tracks.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Cm] 10.
James Blunt – You're Beautiful
[Ab] _ _
This [Eb] sweet, simple, slow song has been a reception standard [Bb] since its 2005 [Eb] release.
In fact,
Blunt even played it at his friend [Ab] Elton John's wedding.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
Every bride wants [Ab] to feel beautiful [Cm] on her big day.
However, the [Ab] song's tale of unrequited
love [Bb] is less appropriate.
[Bb] Sometimes you're better [Cm] off ignoring lyrics when choosing a
first dance song.
And maybe don't watch the video where the guy commits suicide.

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] Nickelback – Never [Dbm] Gonna Be Alone
_ _ _ [E] The mind doesn't jump to Nickelback when [A] considering first dance tunes, [Dbm] but these [Gb] Canadians
have released some [E] respectable power ballad that'd suit [A] any rocker's wedding.
_ _ [E] _ _
This song could easily be about [A] love between family or friends, but it's just as powerful
[E] when interpreted as romantic love.
With its message about [B] partnership for the long haul,
it's a great [B] wedding option, [Dbm] even with Chad Kroger's rough vocals.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Abm] _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] 8.
[Ab] Justin Timberlake – Mirrors
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm]
[Cm] Justin's been releasing [Eb] wedding-ready music forever, but now that he's [Bb] a newlywed [Ab] himself,
his tunes have newfound maturity and emotion.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] As [Ab] _
he tells the story of a man who's [Eb] found his other half, [Gm] Timberlake flaunts his trademark
falsetto [Fm] while Timbaland shows off his signature [Cm] sound.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Cm] The tempo may be fast for some, but the message and melody are so great, we're [Gm] guessing most
couples won't mind.
[Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Em] _ _
7.

Set to fluid harmony
[Bm] and soulful piano, [Em] this song chronicles the ups and downs of [Bm] relationships in true R&B
[Em] style, with Keys' stunning voice holding it [Bm] all together.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] While it's a great reception [Em] song, newlyweds might find this a good [Bm] choice later in [Em] the
evening, after the guests have gone home, if you [B] know what we mean.
[Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
6.
Train – Marry Me _ _ _
[E] Wedding season [C] wouldn't be the same without new romantic ditties competing for our attention.
But some newer tracks cut through the clutter, and this is one of them.
_ _ _ _ [G]
Couples will [Am] fall into each other on the dance floor, [F] swaying to this low-key [C] ballad.
Whether
it's the original or the duet version.
Is it a little schmaltzy?
Sure, but that's the
mark of a great first dance tune. _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ 5.
Christina Perri – A Thousand [Eb] Years
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
If _ it's good enough for [Gm] Bella and Edward, it's good enough for [F] us.
Twihards everywhere know this [Bb] tune as that couple's anthem, but others choose it as
their wedding song simply [F] because it's [Gm] beautiful.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ The universal message about the fear of [Bb] falling for someone touches everyone, and Christina
Perri's voice and quiet [Eb] melody provide the perfect background music for a romantic dance,
whether or not you're a [Gm] vampire.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
4.
[C] Nora Jones – Come [Am] Away With Me
[C] _
_ [Am] Doesn't get more romantic than this.
As she flaunts her standard jazz sultriness,
Nora Jones provides newlyweds [Em] with the perfect piano-driven slow dance [C] soundtrack.
Her [F] haunting
voice [C] plus the song's intimate feel and gentle rhythm are the ideal combo [G] for a cheek-to-cheek
waltz and the recipe for [C] a little mid-song smooch.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [C] Simple, [Am] peaceful, and beautiful, Jones' music [C] is always wedding-appropriate.
[Am] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ 3.
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Gm] _
[D] Michael Bublé – [G] Everything
_ [D] _ [Bm] _ [E] _
_ [G] This crooner [D] is a natural fit on a wedding DJ's playlist, and this is one of his most
romantic originals.
Without the backing of his usual [A] big band, Bublé compares [D] his love
to, [Bm] well, [G] everything, and [A] calls her his stability in a [D] crazy world.
_ [G] _ [Gb] _ [Bm] _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ [Gm] _ [D] _
[Bm] Sure, [E] the song is about his ex, but that doesn't make it [Gm] any less wedding [B]-perfect.
[E] Plus, everyone can sing along at the la-la-la part.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ [F] _ _ 2.
[Gm] Bruno Mars – Marry You
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] With his heartfelt lyrics and sweet, sweet vocals, Bruno Mars is the [Gm] new king of wedding
songs, with several possibilities for [Bb] this list.
We've opted for the obvious Marry
You because [F] its up-tempo beat [Bb] mimics the excitement of new love, its message is [F] cute
and contemporary, and it's got wedding bells.
Too perfect. _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ It's [Bb] not a slow jam, but if you've got your dancing shoes, [F] it's an adorable choice. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [C]
[D] 1.
[G] Lifehouse – You and Me _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ [G] You know it's a popular wedding song when the band releases an extended version for
extra-long first dances.
This love song was [D]
inescapable in [G] 2005, whether at weddings or
on TV.
_ [Am] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ With its [A] slow, stripped-down [D] melody and meaningful message about love and togetherness,
[G] this is one song that doubles as a second set of vows, which is what [Em] all couples want
[D] on their big day.
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _
[G] _ _ _ Do you agree with our list?
