You Ain't Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]My [G]mama taught me when I was a girl
If a man is a problem take
him [D]out of your world
Leave [G]room for the sunshine
[C]and no room for clouds
Just [G]pretend he's no [D]longer [G]around
And [D]say

[Verse 2]
You ain't gotta die to be dead to [G]me
You ain't gotta die to be dead to [D]me
Well, [G]You ain't gotta be [F]6 feet deep
[Em]Pushing up daisies up [Cm]through concrete
No, [G]you ain't gotta [D]die to be dead [G]to me

[Verse 3]
He was [G]a drinkin' and a hollerin'
And you know how that goes
He was talking to women
that [D]mama don't know
So when [G]they surely asked me,
how has [C]your daddy been?
I say [G]who? I have nev[D]er heard of [G]him.

[Verse 4]
You [G]know,
I think I have heard of that man,
I think, I think I heard he got
run over by a train,

[Verse 5]
Mauled by a bear, maybe, hopefully
[G]You ain't gotta die to be
dead to me
You ain't gotta die to be
dead to [D]me
[G]You ain't gotta be [F]6 feet deep
[Em]Pushing up daisies up [Cm]through concrete
No, [G]you ain't gotta [D]die to be dead to
[G]me

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][G][F][Em][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 6]
So [G]here is your first and your final
warning
There won't be no car
wrecks or [D]rat poisoning
So if [G]you cross the line, no,
there [C]won't be no crime
I'll just [G]say [D]adios, [G]sayonara, well, bye

[Verse 7]
You ain't gotta die to be [G]dead
to me
You ain't gotta die to be
dead to [D]me
[G]You ain't gotta be [F]6 feet deep
[Em]Pushing up daisies up
[Cm]through concrete
[G]Mauled by a bear,
stung by a bee
[D]Clip your toenails and get gangrene
No, you ain't [G]gotta die to be [F]dead to
[G]me"[C]
