Chords for The Lot Behind St Mary's (Live Acoustic) | Lori McKenna

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I wanted to know when we'd be free _ _
What life looked like [F] on the other [Bb] side of that sanctuary
Leaving _ somehow would make them proud
Knowing the sins they made
And figuring we could stay on common ground
_ _ Cigarettes _ _ _ _ _ _ smoking on August Sky _
Drinking the beers you convinced your [Eb] older brother to buy
[Bb] _ We hadn't made any of our mistakes _
Our world was in the cradle
But innocence wasn't in the grave
[Gm] We _ [F] _ [Eb] can't go back [Bb] in time
[Gm] But every now and [F] look at [Eb] me
And [Bb] I know you wonder why
We can't get back to when September
Was our only adversary
And the life [Fm] behind _ [Bb] St. _
_ _ Mary's _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I thought I'd be all you'd need
But your heart was in the dark
And [Eb] mine was [Bb] in the weeds
And I'm sure the dreamer who built the first trapeze
Fell in love with someone who grew to resent the goddamn thing
[Gm] _ [F] And I know we [Eb] can't go [Bb] back in time
[Gm] But every now [F] and then look at [Bb] me
As if to wonder why
We can't get back to the love we made
Before our teenage dreams were buried
And the life behind [Fm] _ [Bb] St. _ _ _ _
Mary's
St. _ _ _ _
Mary's
_ Nightlight glowed in the rectory _
We told ourselves the pastor must be sound asleep
But now we're old enough to know he never slept _
And that God's love is almighty
But our love is just bones and [Gm] flesh
[F] And we [Bb] can't go back in time
[Gm] But every now and [F] then reach for [Eb] me
And I close my eyes [Bb] and try to get back to that summer
And the blue jeans we were wearing
And the life [F] behind [Bb] St. _ _
_ Mary's
_ St. _ _
_ Mary's _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
