The Lot Behind St Marys chords by Lori McKenna


Lori McKenna Chords

[Intro]
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 
[Verse 1]
G              G/F#            C   G/F#
We wanted to know when we'd be free
      G                      G/F#                C       G/F#
What life looked like on the other side of that sanctuary
G                G/F#               C
   Believin' somehow we'd make them proud
G/F#        G                  G/F#              C                    G    G/F#    C
Knowin' the sins they made and figuring we could stay on common ground
 
[Verse 2]
G            G/F#                C
   Cigarette smoke in an August sky
G/F#         G              G/F#            C               G/F#
Drinkin' the beers you convinced your older brother to buy
G            G/F#              C      G/F#
   We hadn't made any of our mistakes
     G               G/F#             C                         G/F#
Our world was in the cradle, but innocence wasn't in the grave
 
[Chorus 1]
Em        D               C            G
   And I know we can't go back in time
           Em               D               C
But every now and then you look at me and I know you wonder why
              G               G/F#          C
We can't get back to when September was our only adversary
                   D     G  G/F# C   G/F#
In the lot behind,   St. Mary's...
 
[Post-Chorus]
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 
[Verse 3]
G               G/F#            C     G/F#
Well I thought I'd be all you'd need
           G              G/F#              C            G/F#
But your heart was in the dark and mine was in the weeds
     G                    G/F#               C
I'm sure the dreamer who built the first trapeze
G/F#    G                     G/F#      C                      G/F#
Fell in love with someone who grew to resent the goddamn thing
 
[Chorus 2]
Em        D               C            G
   And I know we can't go back in time
           Em               D            C
But every now and then you look at me as if to wonder why
              G                 G/F#              C
We can't get back to the love we made before our teenage dreams were buried
                   D     G  G/F# C   G/F#
In the lot behind,   St. Mary's...
    G  G/F# C   G/F#
St. Mary's...
 
[Post-Chorus]
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 
[Verse 4]
G              G/F#                 C  G/F#
A nightlight glowed in the rectory
    G                  G/F#               C
We told ourselves the pastor must be sound asleep
    G/F#      G              G/F#          C
But now we're old enough to know he never slept
G/F#     G              G/F#             C                            G/F#
And that God's love is almighty, but our love is just bones and flesh
 
[Chorus 3]
Em        D               C            G
   And I know we can't go back in time
           Em               D                   C
But every now and then you reach for me and I close my eyes and try
        G            G/F#          C
To get back to that summer and the blue jeans we were wearin'
                   D     G  G/F# C   G/F#
In the lot behind,   St. Mary's...
    G  G/F# C   G/F#
St. Mary's...
 
[Outro]
 G   G/F#  C    G/F#
 G   G/F#  C
