[Verse]
D          A        G
She was so pretty, everyone said

D               A          G
The more so the pity that she was found dead

             D         A        G
And now the flag only flies at fifty percent

        D           A              G
In the school yard where she once went
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Push 'em back, push 'em back

C
Way back, way back

G                      A
B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
[Chorus]
         D          A        G
And the death of a cheerleader

D         A         G
Takes me by surprise

         D          A         G
How the death of a cheerleader

    D A G
Can open eyes
[Verse]
D            A         G
Yellow carnations and roses galore

D                 A          G
Were sent to the mother and placed by the door

             D          A            G
And in the spot where her daughter had taken her life

        D            A        G
Was a sweet sixteen photo on homecoming night
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Push 'em back, push 'em back

C
Way back, way back

G                      A
B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
[Chorus]
         D          A        G
And the death of a cheerleader

D         A         G
Takes me by surprise

         D          A         G
How the death of a cheerleader

    D A G
Can open eyes
[Outro]
          D            A      G
And it's sad that she had to die

    D A     G
To open eyes

D       A           G
Nobody doubted her future was vast

D       A            G
Nobody noticed she grew up so fast

       D                A          G
It's a shame that her future's a thing of the past

D              A          G
Tomorrow's the funeral you know

G       A
