The M Word

• E

      E 
Is it true? That he’ll 
            C#m 
never put a ring 
           A 
on you? oh no 
        E 
You’re abused but 
is that the worst 
     C#m             A 
He’s done to you? oh no 
          F#m 
Oh It’s a sad time  
      B 
to be young 
            C#m 
Knowing the worst  
    D      A  Am 
has just begun 


Post Chorus 1:  
E B F#m  F#  A B  x3 
E B F#m  F#   


verse 1: 
B       BM7 
Meridith   do you really 
        B7        E 
want to marry him? 
This could end up 
     C#m 
an embarrassment 
           G#m 
and You’ll have to  
         F# 
keep his name 
B       BM7 
Meridith   do you think  
              B7           E 
that he’ll be fair with it? 
Cause all I’ve heard  
          C#m 
is his disparagement 
        G#m 
Towards you and him 
    A 
But time isn’t 
        B7 
on your side 


      E 
Is it true? That he’ll 
            C#m 
never put a ring 
           A 
on you? oh no 
        E    G#/C 
You’re abused    but 
is that the worst 
     C#m             A 
He’s done to you? oh no 
          F#m 
Oh It’s a sad time  
      B 
to be young 
            C#m 
Knowing the worst  
    D      A  Am 
has just begun 


Post Chorus 2:  
E B F#m  F#  A B  
E B F#m  F#   


verse 2: 
B       Bm7 
Meridith  I know you feel  
            B7       E 
the options narrowing 
With no proposals 
         C#m 
twenty’s harrowing 
    G#m                 F#  F#7 
You hear their whispers grow 
       B       BM7 
Oh but Meridith   it’s apparent  
           B7         E 
that he’s scared of it 
And only seconds from  
    C#m 
The hell with it! 
      G#m 
Don’t be remiss 
A                      B7 
Hanging with guys like him 


Bridge: 
               C#m 
Please bear in mind 
   B7/Eb 
To him  that word 
               E 
brings back to life 
F#m                 A 
Decades of unending fights 
  E/G#        F# 
Oh    he’s prepared for 


verse 3: 
   C#m 
as Cold a War as 
    F# 
His parents endured 
      B 
So be careful when you 
put yourself out there 
        B7 
You’ll say I do He’ll  
             E   E(hold) 
say I do not know 


Interlude: Acoustic and saxophone solo 
C#m  A  E  G#  C#m  A   


Outro: 
       F#m 
It’s a sad time 
      B 
to be young 
            C#m 
Knowing the worst 
    D      A 
has just begun 
         C#m 
yeah the worst 
    D      A 
has just begun 
            C#m 
Knowing the worst 
    D   F#m(hold) 
has just   begun
