[Verse 1]
There[G] was a very sacred place back where I [Em]grew
Betwe[G]en three old pine trees that nobody kn[Em]ew
I'd cl[G]ose my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often[Em] do
But now I'm [D]long gone, completely r[C]uined[G]
D[G]arlin' you and I were made for many different [Em]things
T[G]o live and learn and lie and laugh, fight and [Em]dance and sing
But our h[G]earts have been so battered by the things that we have [Em]seen
And I can f[D]eel it in the [C]way you look at m[G]e
[Chorus]
[D]We could pick any old road [Em]and start [C]again[G]
[D]Hell, we could change our names and[Em] try to fo[C]rget[G]
[D]Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's do[Em]ne
But circ[G]umstances sho[Em]t us down like S[D]eptember dov[G]es
Circ[G]umstances sho[Em]t us down like S[D]eptember dov[G]es
[Verse 2]
My[G] grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to [Em]sleep
I [G]can't sleep nowadays without liquid rel[Em]ief
Well if l[G]ullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were c[Em]heap
I can't aff[D]ord sleep anym[C]ore[G]
And [G]we were never made for love our souls are far t[Em]oo old
But [G]loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs[Em] a home
So y[G]ou will be the fire and I will be the co[Em]al
Baby we can b[D]urn out of contr[C]ol[G]
[Chorus]
W[D]e could pick any old road a[Em]nd start a[C]gain[G]
H[D]ell, we could change our names a[Em]nd try to[C] forget[G]
Lo[D]rd knows I'll be sorry when it's done[Em]
But circ[G]umstances sho[Em]t us down like S[D]eptember dov[G]es
Circ[G]umstances sho[Em]t us down like S[D]eptember dov[G]es
