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
Yes I did compete
With the heart of a fool but I must retreat
Go back to Nashville lay down in the street
As a final warning
Your love is gone
For me, for you, and for everyone
Kidnap the moon, assassinate the sun
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
I stood in the park
Like a photograph until way after dark
In a rented suit holding my homeless heart
In the freezing summer
Could not stand the test
Choked on the words, 'I wish you the best'
Walked away and put my gifts with the rest
But my box was empty
Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat
I can stand the riots in the city streets
My love for you will stand the test of time
The happiest day of your life
Was the worst day of mine
Eighty-six Fahrenheit
I stand alone in the punishing light
Burning the thought of you out of my mind
But it ain't working
I love you babe
First time I said it I was so afraid
Wish I'd said it on your wedding day
Life would be amazing
Well I can stand the winter and the blazing heat
I can stand the riots in the city streets
My love for you will stand the test of time
The happiest day of your life
Was the worst day of mine
