Verse 1
(G major) We (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) wanted
to know (D major) when we'd be free (C major)
(D major) What life (G major) looked like on the
(D major) other side of that (C major) sanctuary (D major)
(G major) Believin' some (D major) how
we'd make them proud (C major)
(G major) Knowin' the sins they made and (D major) figuring we
could stay (C major) on common ground (G major)
(D major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 2
(G major) Cigarette smoke (D major) in an August sky (C major)
(D major) Drinkin' the beers (G major) you convinced
(D major) your older (C major) brother to buy (D major)
(G major) We hadn't make (D major) any of our mistakes (C major)
(D major) Our (G major) world was in the cradle (D major) but
(G major) innocence (C major) wasn't in the grave (E minor)
And I know (D major) we can't go

Verse 3
(C major) back in time (G major)
But every (E minor) now and then you look (D major) at me
and I know (C major) you wonder why
We can't get back (G major) to when Septem
(D major) ber was our only (C major) adversary
In the lot behind (D major) St.
(G major) Mary's (D major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
Verse 4
(G major) Well I thought I'd (D major) be
all you'd need (C major)
(D major) But your heart (G major) was in the dark and mine
was (C major) in the weeds
I'm sure (G major) the dreamer who
(D major) built the first trapeze (C major)
(D major) Fell in love (G major) with someone who (D major) grew to
resent (C major) the goddamn thing (E minor)
And I know (D major) we can't go
Verse 5
(C major) back in time (G major)
But every (E minor) now and then you look (D major)
at me as (C major) if to wonder why
We can't get back (G major) to the love we made (D major) before
our teen (C major) age dreams were buried
In the lot behind (D major) St. (G major) Mary's (D major) (C major)
St. (G major) Mary's (D major)

Verse 6
(G major) A nightlight glowed (D major) in the rectory (C major)
We told (G major) ourselves the pastor
must be sound (C major) asleep
But (D major) now we're old (G major) enough to
know (D major) he never slept (C major)
(D major) And that God's (G major) love is almighty, (D major)
but our love (C major) is just bones and flesh (E minor)
And I know (D major) we can't go
Verse 7
(C major) back in time (G major)
But every (E minor) now and then you you reach (D major)
for me and I close (C major) my eyes and try
To get back (G major) to that sum (D major) mer and the blue
(C major) jeans we were wearin'
In the lot behind (D major) St. (G major) Mary's (D major) (C major)
St. (G major) Mary's (D major)
