Intro
G G/F# C G/F# G G/F# C G/F#
Verse 1
G G/F# C G/F# We wanted to know when we'd be free G G/F# C G/F# What life looked like on the other side of that sanctuary G G/F# C Believin' somehow we'd make them proud G/F# G G/F# C G G/F# C Knowin' the sins they made and figuring we could stay on common ground
Verse 2
G G/F# C Cigarette smoke in an August sky G/F# G G/F# C G/F# Drinkin' the beers you convinced your older brother to buy G G/F# C G/F# We hadn't made any of our mistakes G G/F# C G/F# Our world was in the cradle, but innocence wasn't in the grave
Chorus 1
Em D C G And I know we can't go back in time Em D C But every now and then you look at me and I know you wonder why G G/F# C We can't get back to when September was our only adversary D G G/F# C G/F# In the lot behind, St. Mary's...
Post-Chorus
G G/F# C G/F#
Verse 3
G G/F# C G/F# Well I thought I'd be all you'd need G G/F# C G/F# But your heart was in the dark and mine was in the weeds G G/F# C I'm sure the dreamer who built the first trapeze G/F# G G/F# C G/F# Fell in love with someone who grew to resent the goddamn thing
Chorus 2
Em D C G And I know we can't go back in time Em D C But every now and then you look at me as if to wonder why G G/F# C We can't get back to the love we made before our teenage dreams were buried D G G/F# C G/F# In the lot behind, St. Mary's... G G/F# C G/F# St. Mary's...
Post-Chorus
G G/F# C G/F# G G/F# C G/F#
Verse 4
G G/F# C G/F# A nightlight glowed in the rectory G G/F# C We told ourselves the pastor must be sound asleep G/F# G G/F# C But now we're old enough to know he never slept G/F# G G/F# C G/F# And that God's love is almighty, but our love is just bones and flesh
Chorus 3
Em D C G And I know we can't go back in time Em D C But every now and then you reach for me and I close my eyes and try G G/F# C To get back to that summer and the blue jeans we were wearin' D G G/F# C G/F# In the lot behind, St. Mary's... G G/F# C G/F# St. Mary's...
Outro
G G/F# C G/F# G G/F# C
