Lori McKenna – Never Die Young (Guitar)

         G           D
When the angels came down

         C
Did they give you a choice?

                G       D              C
Would they have let you stay where you were?

       G            D
Not to live here in pain

       C
Should not bring you shame

        D                         Dsus4
And the light is so hard to deter

             G        D
Well did the gates of heaven

     C
Look just as you thought?

           G        D                C
Did Sister Mary des cribe them quite well?

G                 D           C
Years of Catholic school were all good to you

        D                           Dsus4
Because you were the angel who fell

    C        G            C         G
And I am the one who will never die young

C      G          D
I am a martyr and I cannot hide

    C         G
But I'm not a winner

          C           G
I am just brilliantly bitter

    C            G
I'm sealed by my skin

    D             Dsus4
But broken inside

G          D
Angels are fragile

    C
And devils are hot

    G         D      C
And life is a masque rade

G           D
Colors will blend

    C
And hearts will all mend

     D                             Dsus4
Just tell me you were never afraid

       C        G            C         G
'Cause I am the one who will never die young

C      G          D
I am a martyr and I cannot hide

    C         G
But I'm not a winner

          C           G
I am just brilliantly bitter

    C            G
I'm sealed by my skin

    D
But broken inside

              C      G
And there are babies laughing

    C        G
And children running

             C          G        D
And they say "read me a book, oh sing me a song"

    C         G              C      G
And I was the one who I felt so, so sorry for

    C           G          D    Dsus4 D
But you are the one who is gone

            G         D
So will you save me a seat

     C
If I make it that far?

         G
Will you even know

     D        C
That I am the one?

G         D
I will be old

        C
For the angels have told me

     D                      Dsus4
That I will never die young

       C        G            C         G
'Cause I am the one who will never die young

C      G          D
I am a martyr and I cannot hide

    C         G
But I'm not a winner

          C           G
I am just brilliantly bitter

    C            G
I'm sealed by my skin

    D             Dsus4
But broken inside

    G         D
And I will be old

        C
For the angels have told me

     D Dsus4          G     D C
That I will never die young

               G     C G
I'll never die young
