Intro: Am
Am
I told you on the day we wed
Am
I was gonna love you ’til I’s dead
Am
Made you wait ’til our wedding night
Am
That’s the first and the last time I’ll wear white
Am
So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Am
Tie ’em in a knot like a hangman’s noose
Am
Cause I’ll go to heaven or I’ll go to hell
Am
Before I’ll see you with someone else
G D Am
G D Am
Put me in the ground
G D Am
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
(CHORUS)
Am
“Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Am
Was loving one man just a little too much”
Am
If you go before I do
Am
I’m gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Well,
Am
It won’t be whiskey, won’t be meth
Am7
It’ll be your name on my last breath
Am
If divorce or death ever do us part
Am7
The coroner will call it a broken heart
G D Am
G D Am
Put me in the ground
G D Am
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
(CHORUS Same Chords)

I took your name when I took those vows
F G D
I meant ’em back then and I mean ’em right now,
Oh, right now
Am
If the ties that bind ever do come loose
Am7
If “forever” ever ends for you
Am
If that ring gets a little too tight
Am7
You might as well read me my last rites
And let the stone say:
(CHORUS Same Chords)
Am
“Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Am
Was loving one man just a little too much”
Am
If you go before I do
Am G D
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!

Heavy stone right next to mine,
Am
We’ll be together ’til the end of time
Am
Don’t you go before I do,

I’m gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
