Swear and Shake- Marbles
Intro
D
We were on the up and up
Bm A
The front door painted red
D Bm A
We collected marbles in a jar under the bed
G D
We played our forty-fives
G D
My mom warmed up to you
Bm Em A
We were young and shooting marbles
D Bm A
Well, soon enough the times go tough, and we weren't making sand
D Bm A
Each and every shiny pearl kept rolling out of hand
G D G D
So the times were getting tough, but we were getting tougher
Bm Em A
And if I have you, then who needs marbles?
G D Bm A
You move me
G
Oh, you move me
D Bm A
I swear I'll bring home thirty more and be your better man
D Bm A
I'll clean up good and sell the show and hold onto my band
G D G D
Well, I bought you the new suit, and I figured wool would last
Bm Em A
You dirtied it while shooting marbles
D Bm A
I bought us a piano so our kids would grow up smart
D Bm A
And dig up all the songs we wrote back when we had the heart
G D
Oh, the ivory will chip
G D
The strings will surely rust
Bm Em A
Your kids will know the difference from the lyrics in the dust
G D Bm A
You'll love me in ways nothing else can
G
You'll love me
E A
D Gdim7
Stay even when the last one goes
Bm A E7
Will you stay around for when the marbles roll?
Bm E
Stay, stay, stay,
D Gdim7
Will you stay even when the last one goes?
Bm A E7
Cause that's real love, picking up your marbles rolled
Bm A
I will stay, stay, stay
D Gdim7
Lover I believe you, but you've got the upper hand
Bm A E7
You push and pull and break my heart just because you can
Bm A E7
Real love, even when the marbles roll
