[Intro]
E A E B7
A B7 E
[Verse 1]
N.C. E A E B7
It's not the love and honor, it's that promise to obey that makes me think
A B7 E
By marrying, we might be doing wrong
E A E B7
And 'until death do you part' just seems to choke me up to say
A B7 E E7
My love's for better or for worse, but not for long
[Bridge]
A B7 E E7
Because the season soon will start in Hialeah
A B7 E E7
Every year, I like to see the horses run
A B7 E
And if I lose, it's just a short trip to Miami
F#7 B7
Where a beach bum always finds some winter fun
[Verse 2]
E A E B7
I was a-hoping our relationship could stay the way it's been
A B7 E
And I'd feel guilty if I tried to put you on
E A E B7
You seem to want more than the understanding we made a-way back when
A B7 E
For better or for worse, but not for long
[Interlude]
E A E B7
A B7 E
[Verse 3]
N.C. E A E B7
Well, if it's any comfort, when I leave, it won't be someone else
A B7 E
To turn my head and made me leave you far behind
E A E B7
Your competition is the wanderlust and follow it somehow I must
A B7 E E7
You've kept my heart content but not my mind
[Bridge]
A B7 E E7
Well, you might see me on a newscast from Sun Valley
A B7 E E7
I hear the skiing's fine there in July
A B7 E
Or I might just top the rocks on the next spaceship
F#7 B7
'cause they tell me it's the only way to fly
[Verse 4]
E A E B7
So no matter what the postmark reads, from Tahoe to Tangier
A B7 E
I'm where it's happening and that's where I belong
E A E B7
And I really mean the note "I'm having fun, wish you were here"
A B7 E
For better or for worse, but not for long
A B7 E
Well, my love's for better or for worse, but not for long
