Am 
Invincible, 
                         F 
With a heart sometime combustible 
                      Dm                    G 
She’s a raging river borne beneath my feet 
                 Am 
No other could compete 

Remarkable, know many days and night 
         F 
Dysfunctional 
                        Dm               G 
She’s a contradiction, all but her agree 
                     C 
Ah, but who does she believe

    C 
The bride wore black 
                                        G 
Though the color of her eyes shone like flawless pearls 

Set forth from the sky 
       Am 
To the sailing seas 

That carried us to be

Comical 
                         F 
But only happy when she’s serious 
                           Dm                  G 
Kicks the future where the present used to be, 
                               C 
ah, that’s square between the teeth

To the sailing seas

Take me back to the vision where the bride wore black

Bridge 
                              F 
She always tells it like it should 
                            Am 
Plays the joke but not the fool 
                                F 
Then through the fire comes the rain 
Dm                            G 
Ah, things will never be the same 
                 F 
Ah, never be the same
