🎸 Verse 1:
C                      F          C       G
When I poured my heart out, blood flowed
  C                             F
I planted you, watered you with tears
    C               G          F
And watched you grow away from me
G                         F
So much for my green thumb
G                         F
I've overstayed my welcome

Plant white roses and plan to cry

If I can't spend my life with you
            C              F
Plant white roses
I wanna die
           C     G            C    F
If I can't spend my life with you

When you're gone I stumble and fall
    C                         F
I'm told you don't wanna stay around
      C           G             F
Those trains call, you're all I need
    G                          F
But you need more than country songs
    G                  F
You need to be getting along

C                           F
Plant white roses
I wanna die
           C                  G
If I can't spend my life with you
            C                 F
Plant white roses and plan to cry
           C     G            C    F
If I can't spend my life with you

My life with you
