Am
I told you on the day we wed
CD
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Am
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
CG
That's the first and the last time I wear white
Am
So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
CD
Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose
Am
Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
CG
Before I'll see you with someone else
CGAm
Put me in the ground
CGAm
Put me six foot down
CGAm
And let the stone say:
Same as the verses
AmC
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
D (D2 if you want)
Was loving one man just a little too much
AmC
If you go before I do
G
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Well,
Am
It won't be whiskey, won't be meth
CD
It'll be your name on my last breath
Am
If divorce or death ever do us part
CG
The coroner will call it a broken heart
CGAm
Put me in the ground
CGAm
Put me six foot down
CGAm
And let the stone say:
AmC
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
D (D2 if you want)
Was loving one man just a little too much
AmC
If you go before I do
G
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Dig two
CGAm
Ooh, ooh
CGAmAmG
I took your name when I took those vows
AmG
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now,
Oh, right now
Am
If the ties that bind ever do come loose
CD
If forever ever ends for you
Am
If that ring gets a little too tight
CD
You might as well read me my last rights
Pause x x x x
And let the stone say:
AmC
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
D (D2 if you want)
Was loving one man just a little too much
AmC
If you go before I do
G
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
AmC
Heavy stone right next to mine,
D
We'll be together 'til the end of time
AmC
Don't you go before I do,
G
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Am
I told you on the day we wed
CG
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
