Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][CHORUS]
If I was a [C]carpenter
[G]And you were a lad[D]y
Would you marry [C]me anyway?
[G]Would you have my bab[D]y?

[Verse 2]
[VERSE 1] If a tinker [C]was
my trade
[G]Would you tinker with me?[D]
Would you keep the vows [G]we made
Followin' be[D]hind me?

[Verse 3]
And if I was [C]Jesus
[G]And I built som[D]e crosses
Could you see [C]the future?
[G]Could stand the[D] losses
Of lovin' a car[C]pen[G]ter
And being a [D]lady
And takin' a chance on [G]me
Just to be my [D]baby?

[Verse 4]
[G]Save my love through lon[D]eliness
[G]Save my [Gsus4]love thro[G]ugh sorrow, y[D]es[G]
I'll give you [D]my onliness
If you [G]just [Gsus4]give me t[F]omo[D]rrow

[Verse 5]
If I was a [C]rock star
[G]Would you be my [D]groupie?
Would you make sweet [C]love to me?
[G]Come to California[D]?

[Verse 6]
Well, I might [C]go crazy
[G]I have to [D]warn ya
Well, I get so [C]mean some[G]times
When the spirit's [D]on me

[Verse 7]
That I think I'm [C]Jesus
[G]Out buildin' cro[D]sses
Could ya see the fu[G]ture?
Could ya [D]stand the losses?
Of lovin' [C]a carpenter
[G]And being a l[D]ady
And takin' a [C]chance on [G]me
Just to be my [D]baby?

[Verse 8]
[G]Save my love through [D]loneliness
[G]Save my love through sorrow[D], yea[G]h
I'll give you [D]my onliness
If you'd [G]only [Gsus4]give me t[F]omorr[D]ow
