[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well I'm [G]saving
this dress for my wedding day
Momma wouldn't have it any [C]other way
She says when she married
Her [G]waist was twenty three

[Verse 2]
I [D]guess I'll never wear it [G]anyway
I [C]don't believe I care to [G]marry
Though I [D]cannot explain exactly [G]why
It [C]somehow seems to me

[Verse 3]
Mat[G]rimony [E]is misery
[G]Simply a [D]faster way to [G]die
I'm saving all my money
for my wedding day
You know my momma wouldn't
have it any oth[C]er way

[Verse 4]
She [C]says when she [Cm]married
She [G]didn't have a dime
But I [D]guess I'll spend that
money some [G]other way
Because I [C]don't believe
I care to [G]marry

[Verse 5]
Although I [D]cannot explain exactly [G]why
[C]It somehow seems to me
That mat[G]rimony is [E]misery
[G]Simply a [D]faster way to [G]die

[Interlude 1]

[D][Dm]
[G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G][E][G][D][G]

[Verse 6]
Well I'm [G]saving my best thing
for my wedding day
Because my poppa wouldn't
have it any oth[C]er way
He says if I lose it early
I'll have [G]thrown my life away

[Verse 7]
But I [D]swear I'll use my cherry my own [G]way
I [C]don't believe I care to [G]marry
Though I [D]cannot explain exactly [G]why
It [C]somehow seems to me

[Verse 8]
Mat[G]rimony [E]is misery
[G]Simply a [D]faster way to [G]die
