C(add9)GGsusG (x2)
INTRO
G
We got married in high school,
C(add9)GGsus
Had a baby when we turned 18.
GG/F#Em
I bagged groceries in the daytime,
AmD
At night I learned to fix TVs.
GG7
When you come by things the hard way,
CGGsusG
Well you learn how to hold on tight
AmG
So don't think you can waltz in here
CDDsusD
And take her without a fight.
CDGGsusG
This ain't just some mere love come lately,
CDG (fill)
Its a precious thing you don't know nothing about.
CD
We were joined in the eyes of the lord,
GG/F#Em
In the eyes of our home town.
Am
Why don't you leave her alone?
DC(add9)GGsusG
You're treadin' on sacred ground.
G
Guess I took for granted,
C(add9)G
She would never look at someone else.
G/F#Em
Now I got some patching up to do,
AmCD
Oh and I don't need your help.
GG7
I know you're the leaving kind,
CG
Well I sure hope you will.
AmG
Before she goes and burns those bridges
CDDsusD
It took so long to build.
CDGGsusG
This ain't just some mere love come lately,
CDG (fill)
Its a precious thing you don't know nothing about.
CD
We were joined in the eyes of the lord,
GG/F#Em
In the eyes of our home town.
Am
Why don't you leave her alone?
DGEm
You're treadin' on sacred ground.
AmG
Go on and leave her alone,
CD
Why don't you leave her alone?
AmBm
Go on and leave her alone,
CDC(add9)G
You're treadin' on sacred ground.
