Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'l[D]l p[A]ut one hand
in the [G]air
I'm closing my [D]eyes
My whole heart's [A]beating
for the very [D]first [Bm]time
[D]That boy[Bm] her[D]e in tow[G]n says,
"Darlin' just [D]drive"
I swear the gates of [A]Heaven
just opened up [D]wide
And Lord, I'm glad you [G]didn't
pay me no at[D]tention
When I sent up [A]a prayer of
a child's [D]premonition
[Bm]'Cau[G]se

[Verse 2]
I've had [D]time to [A]bloom
Plantin' them [Bm]roses instead
[G]and
[D]I'm changing my tun[A]e
From when I said
If I [D]die young

[Verse 3]
[G]
Bury me in sat[D]in
Lay me [A]down on a bed of [Bm]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at [D]dawn
Send me [A]away with the words
of [Bm]a love [G]song
The sharp [D]knife of a short [A]life
Now I [Bm]know there's [G]no such
[D]thing as enough time
[A]

[Verse 4]
I'm looking more like [G]my mother
I love her to the [D]bone
I know it's gonna [A]kill me on
the day she goes [Bm]home
I'll pour some holy [G]water on
the daughter of my [D]own
I'll pass my name [A]down 'fore
it's on a head[Bm]stone
It was so dra[G]matic
Beautiful [D]but tragic
Throwing my emo[A]tions in a
poem 'bout [Bm]a casket
[G]But

[Verse 5]
I've had [D]time to [A]bloom
Plantin' them [Bm]roses instead
[G]and
[D]I'm changing my tun[A]e
From when I said

[Verse 6]
If I die [G]young
Bury me in [D]satin
Lay me [A]down on a bed of [Bm]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at [D]dawn
Send me [A]away with the words
of a [Bm]love [G]song
The sharp [D]knife of a short [A]life
Now I [Bm]know there's [A]no [G]such thi[D]ng as enough tim[A]e,
[G][D]
[A]oh

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][D][A]

[Verse 7]
And I'm so glad I'm here [D]now
Instead of somewhere under[A]ground
I think I'll always wanna [Bm]stay
I guess it's [G]too late anyway
[A]To die you[G]ng
Bury [D]me in satin

[Verse 8]
Lay me [A]down on a bed of [Bm]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at [D]dawn
Send me [A]away with the words
of a [Bm]love [G]song
The sharp [D]knife of a short [A]life
Now I [Bm]know there's [G]no such
[D]thing as enough time
[A]

[Verse 9]
So [G]put on your best [D]boys
And I'll wear my [A]pearls
