[Bridge]
 D
it was so quiet
               C
no friends and family allowed
           D
only my murderer,
you and the priest who
            C
told you to go to hell
                       D
and the funny thing is I
would've married you
              C
if you'd have stuck around
            G
I feel more free than
          F    C
I have in years
           G          F     C
six feet in the ground

that you did it on halloween
