Verse
Em7 C G
Well I was only scared of the devil and her dad ■
Em7 C G
So we'd park somewhere we knew they'd never look ■
Em C
No I've never seen nothin' like her
G
Playing with the flame of her momma's lighter
Em7 C G
No it wasn't very long 'fore I was hooked ■
Chorus
Em7 C G D
Heaven was a preacher's spot in that first church parking lot
Em C G D
Hangin' onto me like the cross on a rearview does ■
Em7 C G D
Her eyes were blue the words were red on that half pack of cigarettes
Em C G D
At seventeen that's what hallelujah ■ was ■
C
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that Chevy
D
Me her and the Holy Ghost
C
Somethin' 'bout us hell of a rush
D Em
Fallin' in love lightin' up them holy smokes

Verse
Em7 C G
They'd run us off but we'd come runnin' back ■
Em C G
And we'd pick up where we left off the night before
Em C
She said How pissed off would your mama be
G D G
If we walked in there and you married me ■
C G
Even if we never made it through them old wood doors
