Okay, I know that Finn had his doubts about God, but I am convinced that Squishy Teats is up in heaven right now.
Plopped down next to his new best friend, Fat Elvis, helping themselves to a picnic of baby back ribs
smothered in butterscotch pudding and tater tot grease.
So, this is for you, Hudson.
If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river [E] at dawn.
Send [B] me away with the [C#m] words of a love song.
[A]
[E] Oh, oh, [B] oh, oh.
Lord, [A] make me a rainbow, I'll shine [E] down on my mother.
She'll know [B] I'm safe with you when she stands [C#m] under my colors, oh.
[A] Life ain't [E] always what you think it ought to [B] be, no.
Ain't even [C#] gray, but she buries her [A] baby.
The [E] sharp knife of a [B] short life.
[C#m] [A] Well, [E] I've had just [B] enough time.
[A]
[E] [C#m] [A] So put on your [E] best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.
[B] What I never did is done.
If [E] [B] I [A] die young, bury [E] me in satin, lay me [B] down on a bed [C#m] of roses, sink me [A] in the river [E] at dawn.
Send [B] me away with the words [C#m] of a love song.
[A] Oh, oh, [F#] oh, oh.
[Gm]
[F] [D#] You okay?
[Cm] You sang beautifully.
[Gm] I couldn't do it.
[Fm] There's only one more chorus.
No, not the song.
[Gm] I had this whole plan to surprise everyone and not be a bitch for once in my life and
say all these nice things about Finn, and then at the last minute, I chickened out.
I even wrote them all down.
[G]
[G#] Would you read it to me?
[Gm] No, I can't.
It's too embarrassing.
They're, like, really [F] nice.
[D#] If there's one thing I've learned from Finn dying, it's that shame [Cm] is a wasted emotion.
[F#] I'm sure Finn had secrets, too, but [Fm] who cares now?
Do you really think one day on your deathbed, [Gm] you're gonna think,
oh, good, no one knew I was [F] kind?
[D#] Okay.
[Cm] When we had sex, Finn never stopped asking [Gm] me if I was okay the whole time, [G#] and he meant it.
[N] One time, Becky Jackson left a piece of chocolate birthday cake on my chair,
and when I sat on it, it looked like I'd pooped my pants, and so Finn walked behind me until I
saw my chocolate, but I thought that I'd messed myself.
Yeah, you would have never let that one down.
No.
He was a much better person than I am.
That is true, but Finn really cared about you, and I don't think you would have done
all those things if he didn't think you were decent, too.
[Gm] [G] Can you leave, please?
