   Capo 2nd Fret

Intro: (C)  (G)  (Gsus)  (G) x 2

         
(G) We got married in high school, 
Had a (C) baby when we turned eigh(G)teen.   
I bagged (D/F#) groceries in the (Em7) daytime,
At (Am) night I learned to fix T(D)Vs.
When you (G) come by things the (G7) hard way,
Well you (C) learn how to hold on (G) tight
So (Am) don't think you can (G/B) waltz in here
And (C) take her without a (D) fight.

 	 (C) This ain't just some (D) neon love come (G) lately,
 	 Its a (Am) precious thing you (D) don't know nothing a(G)bout.
 	 (C) We were joined in the (D) eyes of The Lord,
 	 In the (G) eyes of (D/F#) our home (Em7) town.
 	 Why don't you (Am) leave her alone
 	 You're (D) treadin' on sacred gr(C)ound

(G) Guess I took for granted,
She would (C) never look at someone (G) else.
Now I got (D/F#) some patching (Em7) up to do,
Oh and (Am) I don't (C) need your (D) help.
(G) I know you're the (G7) leaving kind, 
Well (C) I sure hope you (G) will.
Be(Am)fore she goes and (G/B) burns those bridges
It (C) took so long to (D) build.

 	 (C) This ain't just some (D) neon love come (G) lately,
 	 Its a (Am) precious thing you (D) don't know nothing a(G)bout.
 	 (C) We were joined in the (D) eyes of The Lord,
 	 In the (G) eyes of (D/F#) our home (Em7) town.
 	 Why don't you (Am) leave her alone
 	 You're (D) treadin' on sacred gr(C)ound

 	 Why don't you (Am) leave her alone (G/B)
 	 Why don't you (C) leave her alone
 	 Why don't you (Am) leave her alone
 	 You're (D) treadin' on sacred gr(C)ound
