I put one hand in the air, I'm closin' my eyes
B C#m
My whole heart's beatin' for the very first time
Asus2 E
That boy here in town says, "Darlin' just drive"
B C#m

It was so dramatic, beautiful but tragic
B C#m
Throwin' my emotions in a poem 'bout a casket, but
[Pre-Chorus]

I've had time to bloom

Plantin' them roses instead and

I'm changin' my tune from when I said
[Chorus]

If I die young, bury me in satin
B C#m
Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

E
I'm so glad I'm here now
B
Instead of somewhere underground
C#m
I think I'll always wanna stay
A B
I guess it's too late anyway
[Chorus]
A E
To die young, bury me in satin
B C#m
Lay me down on a bed of roses
A E
Sink me in the river at dawn

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls
