This song is surprisingly simple, especially if you are already familiar with
Travis picking (Google it if you want to learn). I based this off of what I hear
in both the recorded and acoustic versions.
Tips:
1. Keep your index finger on xxxx1x for the whole song. I believe that's how
it's played the whole way through.
2. It's essentially a bass walk-down. If you keep that in mind, it becomes a lot
easier to transition since the focus is on the bass note.
3. If you want to play like the acoustic versions, learn how to use the Travis
picking form from Kansas' "Dust in the Wind"

Verse 1:
Forever could never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Pre-Chorus 1:
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Chorus:
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Verse 2:
Together could never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words
"I love you" and "you're beautiful"
Pre-Chorus 2:
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Chorus
Bridge:
Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
Chorus
Marry Me
