Song: Worst That Could Happen
By:   Brooklyn Bridge

[intro:]   |C   |C   |
 
[verse: 1]
|C         |Dm7/G                       |
 Girl,   I heard you're getting married
|C                    Am     
 Heard you're getting married
     |Dm         Em     F    (G)      {G is implied)
This time you're really sure
    |C
And this is the end
    |Dm7/G
They say you really mean it
     |C                  Am
This guy's the one that makes you feel
   |Eb                 G              |
So safe, so sane, and so secure, and
 
Chorus:
   {bass walk up   C D E F}
|C               |F                 Fm    |
 Baby      if he loves you more than me
|C                        |
 Maybe it's the best thing
|D7/F#                         |G7sus4 
 Maybe it's the best thing for you 
             |G7sus4  {let ring}      |G7sus4     |C
But it's the worst that could happen            to me
 
[verse: 2]
       |Dm7/G             |
   I'll never get married
|C          Am 
 Never get married
   |Dm         Em      F    (G)       {G is implied)
You know that's not my scene
    |C                |
But a girl like you
|Dm7/G
 Needs to be married
     |C              Am            |
I've known all along you couldn't
|Eb              G             |
 Live forever in between, and
 
[chorus:]
   {bass walk up   C D E F}
|C               |F                 Fm    |
 Baby      if he loves you more than me
|C                         |
 Maybe it's the best thing
|D7/F#                         |G7sus4 
 Maybe it's the best thing for you 
             |G7sus4   {let ring}        |G7sus4     |C 
But it's the worst that could happen              to me


[bridge:]
    |Ab   Abmaj7
And girl
  |Db           Dbm
I don't really blame you
   |Ab                     |Ebsus4   Eb7    
For having a dream of your own
    |C   Cmaj7
And girl
  |F 
I don't really blame you
  {bass walk up   D E F G A Bb}
  |Dm        Em          |F          Bb         |
A woman like you needs a house and a home, baby
 
[chorus: ]
    {bass walk up   Eb F G A }
   |Eb             |Ab                Abm |
 If he      really loves you more than me
|Eb
 Maybe it's the best thing
|F7/A                          |Bb7sus4
 Maybe it's the best thing for you 
             Bb7sus4 {let ring}      |Bbsus4      |
But it's the worst that could happen

|Eb            Ebmaj7        |Ab              |
 Girl, I'm never, never gonna marry, no no
|Eb            Ebmaj7           |Ab              |
