Sacred Ground

G
We got married in high school,
      C(add9)               G   Gsus
Had a baby when we turned 18.
G         G/F#             Em
 I bagged groceries in the daytime,
   Am                      D
At night I learned to fix TVs.
         G                  G7
When you come by things the hard 
way,
         C                    G    
Well you learn how to hold on tight
Gsus G

   Am                  G
So don't think you can waltz in here
    C                  D      
And take her without a fight.
Dsus    D


C                    D           
This ain't just some mere love 
   G       Gsus G
come lately,
      C                  D          
         G     (fill)
Its a precious thing you don't know 
nothing about.
C                     D
We were joined in the eyes of the 
lord,
       G       G/F#     Em
In the eyes of our home town.

Why don't you leave her alone?
       D                  C(add9) 
You're treadin' on sacred ground.
  G  Gsus G


G
Guess I took for granted,
          C(add9)              
She would never look at someone 
 G
else.
          G/F#          Em
Now I got some patching up to do,
       Am      C         D
Oh and I don't need your help.
G                  G7
 I know you're the leaving kind,
     C               G
Well I sure hope you will.
  Am                G
Before she goes and burns those 
bridges
   C               D      Dsus D
It took so long to build.

C                    D           
This ain't just some mere love 
   G       Gsus G

Why don't you leave her alone?
          Am         Bm
Go on and leave her alone,

You're treadin' on sacred ground.
