Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: Em C G x2

Verse:
           Em                   C            G
Well I was only scared of the devil and her dad
         Em                   C                 G
So weʼd parked somewhere we knew theyʼd never look
 Em                   C
Naw, Iʼve never seen nothing like her
   G
Playinʼ with the flame of her mommaʼs lighter
 Em                   C                G
Naw, it wasnʼt very long ʼfore I was hooked

Chorus:
 Em             C            G                     D
Heaven was a preachers spot in that first church parkinʼ lot
     Em          C                         G        D
Her hanginʼ onto me like the cross on the rearview does
     Em                   C              G                    D
Her eyes were blue, the words w?re red, on that half pack of cigarettes.
   Em    C               G      D
At 17, thatʼs what hallelujah was
 C
Life wasnʼt heavy in the back of that Chevy
     D
Me, her, and the holy ghost
 C
Somethinʼ ʼbout us, hell of a rush
 D                                       Em
Fallinʼ in love, lightinʼ up them holy smokes

Em C G x2

Verse:
       Em              C                 G
Theyʼd run us off but weʼd come runninʼ back
          Em                C                   G
And weʼd pick up where we left off the night before
           Em                        C
She said "How ****** off would your mama be
        G                       D
If we walked in there and you married me?"
Em            C              G                     D
  Even if we never made it through them ole wood doors

Chorus:
 Em             C            G                     D
Heaven was a preachers spot in that first church parkinʼ lot
     Em          C                         G        D
Her hanginʼ onto me like the cross on the rearview does
     Em                   C              G                    D
Her eyes were blue, the words w?re red, on that half pack of cigarettes.
   Em    C               G      D
At 17, thatʼs what hallelujah was
 C
Life wasnʼt heavy in the back of that Chevy
     D
Me, her, and the holy ghost
 C
Somethinʼ ʼbout us, hell of a rush
 D                                       Em
Fallinʼ in love, lightinʼ up them holy smokes

Em C G x2

Bridge:
 Em                   C               G
Nothinʼ ʼbout those nights felt like sinninʼ
 Em       C                    G
Jesus forgives, but I canʼt forget when

Chorus:
 Em             C            G                     D
Heaven was a preachers spot in that first church parkinʼ lot
     Em          C                         G        D
Her hanginʼ onto me like the cross on the rearview does
     Em                   C              G                    D
Her eyes were blue, the words w?re red, on that half pack of cigarettes.
   Em    C               G     D
At 17, thatʼs what hallelujah was
 C
Life wasnʼt heavy in the back of that Chevy
     D
Me, her, and the holy ghost
 C
Somethinʼ ʼbout us, hell of a rush
 D                                       Em
Fallinʼ in love, lightinʼ up them holy smokes

Em C G x2
