Strumming Intro-Same strum pattern of the verses.  Listen to the
recording to get the rhythm down.

E-D-A-B-E-D-A 2x

Chords are strummed in all verses.
Verse Chords work with all verses
Verse 1
E          D             A      B
Hoping to find something better
            E                 D
At least better than what ya thought
E        D                 A
So many aisles to venture down
B                         E  D-A
So many choices you thought

Verse 2
       E        D               A
Then a man come walkin down the aisle
       B                    E    D-A
With a smile as wide as the rain
    E               D        A
But mom she's gotta go away again
        B               E    D-A
And I'm runnin with the pain
E               B
Yeah, da da da da

Chorus Chords- it is very hard to hear what the rhythm guitar is
playing (possibly because it is not playing anything at all) so
I have developed my own way of playing it that sounds great. Just
strum the chords how ever you like.

e-0---0---0---0-

G-9---6---6---8-

Chorus
E                                        C#m                A
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
         B
And walk away
        E                       C#m
I said, You know it, mom know it, so whatcha want

Verse 3
E        D       A     B           E   D-A
Why only one or another or none at all
E        D            A   B        E     D-A
How come every time I trip I never fall
       E        D               A
Then a man come walkin down the aisle
       B                    E    D-A
