[Verse 1]
G Em
There was a very sacred place back where I grew
G Em
Between three old pine trees that nobody knew
G Em
I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do
D C G
But now I'm long gone, completely ruined
G Em
Darlin' you and I were made for many different things
G Em
To live and learn and lie and laugh, fight and dance and sing
G Em
But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen
D C G
And I can feel it in the way you look at me
[Chorus]
D Em C G
We could pick any old road and start again
D Em C G
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
D Em
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
G Em D G
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
G Em D G
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
[Verse 2]
G Em
My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep
G Em
I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief
G Em
Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap
D C G
I can't afford sleep anymore
G Em
And we were never made for love our souls are far too old
G Em
But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home
G Em
So you will be the fire and I will be the coal
D C G
Baby we can burn out of control
[Chorus]
D Em C G
We could pick any old road and start again
D Em C G
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
D Em
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
G Em D G
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
G Em D G
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
