Verse 1:
G+G E minorEm
There was a very sacred place back where I grew
G+G E minorEm
Between three old pine trees that nobody knew
G+G E minorEm
I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do
D MajorD C majorC G+G
But now I'm long gone, completely ruined
G+G E minorEm
Darlin' you and I were made for many different things
G+G E minorEm
To live and learn and lie and laugh, fight and dance and sing
G+G E minorEm
But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen
D MajorD C majorC G+G
And I can feel it in the way you look at me
Chorus:
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G
We could pick any old road and start again
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
D MajorD E minorEm
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
Verse 2:
G+G E minorEm
My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep
G+G E minorEm
I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief
G+G E minorEm
Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap
D MajorD C majorC G+G
I can't afford sleep anymore
G+G E minorEm
And we were never made for love our souls are far too old
G+G E minorEm
But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home
G+G E minorEm
So you will be the fire and I will be the coal
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Baby we can burn out of control
Chorus:
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G
We could pick any old road and start again
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
D MajorD E minorEm
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
