E          B      A            A
She was so pretty everyone said

More so than pity that she was found dead
        E         B        A            A

In the school yard where she once went

Yellow carnations and roses galore
Were sent to the mother and placed by the door
At the spot where her daughter had taken her life
Was a sweet sixteen photo on homecoming night

Nobody doubted her future was vast
Nobody noticed she grew up so fast

Tomorrow's the funeral you know
