VBS Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
In the [G]summer of '0[F]7
I was [C]sure I'd go to [G]heaven
But I was hedging my [F]bets at [C]VBS[G]
The preacher in a [F]t-shirt
told me [C]I could be a l[G]eader
Taught me how to build a [F]fire
and to [C]spread the [Am]word[C]

[Verse 2]
In the [G]evening every[F]body
went to [C]worship and [G]weep
Hands above our [F]heads, [C]reaching for [G]God
Back in the [F]cabin,
snorting [C]nutmeg in your [G]bunk bed
You were waiting for a [F]revelation [C]of your own
[Am][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Sedentary [F]secrets like [C]peach pits in your [G]gut
Locked away like [F]jam jars
in the [C]cellar of your [G]heart
Waiting to be [F]tasted and [C]ultimately [G]wasted
You were gonna [F]win me over [C]from the start
[Am][C]

[Chorus 1]
Your [Am]poetry was so bad
It [C]took a lot to not laugh
You [G]said that I [F]showed you the [C]light
But all it [Am]did in the [C]end
Was make the [G]dark feel [F]darker than be[C]fore

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am][C]

[Verse 4]
Your [G]dad keeps his [F]sleeves
down through the sum[C]mer for a [G]reason
Your mother wears her [F]makeup
extra [C]thick for a [G]reason
When I tell you you were [F]born
and you are [C]here for a [G]reason
You are not convinced
the [F]reason is a [Am]good [C]one

[Verse 5]
While you're [G]going to [F]sleep
your mind [C]keeps you a[G]wake
And it makes your heart [F]beat [C]fast and [G]loud
There's nothing you can [F]do
but the [C]only thing you [G]found
Playing Slayer at full [F]volume
helps to [C]block it [Am]out[C]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Poetry was so bad
It [C]took a lot to not laugh
You [G]said that I [F]showed you the [C]light
But all it [Am]did in the [C]end
Was make the [G]dark feel [F]darker than be[Am]fore
[G]Dark feel [F]darker than be[Am]fore
[G]Dark feel [F]darker than be[Am]fore
