Do together,
C      Am    Dm7           G7   C
That make perfect relationships.
           C  C6              C

C                     Cmaj7
Savings you accrue together,

That make marriage a joy.
G+   C
M-hm

It's the little things you share together,

Wear together,
C      Am      Dm7     G7   C
That make perfect relationships.
  C      C6addF              C
The concerts you enjoy together,

Neighbors you annoy together,

Children you destroy together,
C    Am                C
That keep marriage intact.
[Chorus] 
Dm7/C      G11     Dm   B C    
It's not so hard to be married
Dm7/C      G11            C
When two maneuver as one.

It's not so hard to be married,
    C11                     G7sus 
And, Jesus Christ, is it fun!

G+   C
M-hm
G11             G9              G11             G7
It's not talk of God and the decade ahead that
C         Cmaj          C6      Cmaj7  
Allows you to get through the worst.
G11             G9                  G11       G7
It's "I do" and "you don't" and "nobody said that"
        C               Cmaj       C6
And "who brought the subject up first?"
Cmaj7       G11     G9
It's the little things,

   C                     Cmaj7
Growing old and grey together,
G7/C                  G7-5
Withering away together,
C            Am        C
That make marriage a joy.
[Chorus]
Dm7/C      G11     Dm   B C    
It's not so hard to be married,
Dm7/C      G11            C
It's much the simplest of crimes.
Dm7/C      G11     Dm   B C    
It's not so hard to be married
    C11                     G7sus
I've done it three or four times.
[Verse]
      C          C6

That make perfect relationships.

Kiss-kiss
G+   C
M-hm
