[Intro]
G D C x2
[Verse 1]
GWe wanted to knDow when we'd be frCee
What lGife looked like on the Dother side of that sCanctuary
GBelievin' somehDow we'd make them prCoud
Knowin' the sGins they made and fDiguring we could stCay on common grounGd D C
[Verse 2]
GCigarette smDoke in an August skCy
Drinkin' the beGers you conviDnced your older brCother to buy
GWe hadn't make Dany of our mistCakes
Our wGorld was in the cradlDe but innocence wCasn't in the grave
[Chorus 1]
EmAnd I knDow we can't go bCack in tGime
But every nEmow and then you lDook at me and I knCow you wonder why
We can't get bGack to when SeptDember was our Conly adversary
In the lot behindD St. MGaryD'sC G D C
[Verse 3]
GWell I thought ID'd be all you'd neCed
But your heGart was in the dDark and mine was Cin the weeds
I'm sGure the dreamer who buDilt the first trapCeze
Fell in lGove with someone who grDew to resCent the goddamn thing
[Chorus 2]
EmAnd I knDow we can't go bCack in tGime
But every nEmow and then you lDook at me as Cif to wonder why
We can't get bGack to the love we mDade before our tCeenage dreams were buried
In the lot behindD St. MGaryD'sC
St. MGaryD'sC
[Instrumental]
G D C x2
[Verse 4]
GA nightlight glDowed in the rectorCy
We tGold ourselves the pDastor must be soCund asleep
But now we're Gold enough to knDow he never slCept
And that GGod's love is almDighty, but our lCove is just bones and flesh
[Chorus 3]
EmAnd I knDow we can't go bCack in tGime
But every nEmow and then you rDeach for me and I clCose my eyes and try
To get bGack to that sDummer and the blCue jeans we were wearin'
In the lot behindD St. MGaryD'sC
St. MGaryD's C
[Outro]
