Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Three streets off the grid,
[E]we were barely kids
But we were [G]old enough
[A]to drink in Louisi[G]ana[D]
We listened to 'The King Must
[E]Die', 'On the Willows' drank the wine
We [G]could afford from the
[A]work study man[G]na
[D]Were were young

[Verse 2]
[Bm]but not that[F#m] young
To be cutting our fin[Em]gers
and mixing our [D]blood
[Em]Climbing the fence of the St.
Louis [D]cemetery[A]
We caught [Bm]on my heart's desi[F#m]re
Big [G]as the [D]1788 fire
[Em]Put on little quennie and [A]bring
me another whiskey

[Verse 3]
[D]Elizabeth, the last [A]I heard,
you're in Savan[Bm]nah
You got mar[A]ried [Bm]af ter art
[G]school [D]happil[Esus4]y
[A]I did[D]n't want to look you up [A],
I'm pretty [Bm]sure it's just enough
[D]That I re[G]member you [A]fondly[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I didn't have a car, but I d[E]id have a guitar
And I [G]played to my advant
[A]age when you [G]let me
[D]I o[A]nly[D] stayed 2 years,
[E]but it still appears
After [G]all of this time the
[A]memories still [G]get [D]me
[A]I was young

[Verse 5]
[Bm]but not that young
[F#m]To be tied in a k[Em]not that
was coming un[D]done
The [Em]spooks and haunts that
vexed me veiled [D]my eye[A] s
It was [Bm]al ways dark ba[F#m]ck then
It was [G]al ways [D]3 am
I [Em]shake my head to think I [Asus4]made it out aliv[A]e[D]
[A][Bm][A]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][A]
[D][A][Bm][D][G][A]

[Verse 6]
Out at [A]night under the lights
Some band is [G]singing [D]a memory
Every[Bm]body hits [F#m]record to
play [G]it back over [A]time

[Verse 7]
But when I [A]look back on our dance
I only wanna [G]hear that music [D]once
And re[Bm]member it [F#m]forever in my mind

[Outro 1]
