After the wine was gone and the lord saw that it was good

And I misplaced my horizon just like you said I would

Whatever you needed wasn’t mine to give

Wasn’t much there for two hungry people to live

Never knew what was goin wrong
Am
You were outta the gate too soon

Loved the sound, but you hated the song

I never wanted to belong and neither did you

I think that’s why we got along

I think that’s why we got along
 
[Verse 2]
Em Am
Up upon Maryland Heights, down on the rocks and malt liquorin’
Em Am
Above the railroad bridge at night, old shadows flickerin’
Em Am Cm9/B
There was blood before our time and there’ll be blood to come
C Cm9/B Am D9/F#
Some day may we float on back down to where we came from

[Verse 3]
Em Am
Now there’s split tongues above you, and most things ain’t built for lasting
Em Am
Were you starved for love, or were you fasting?
Em Am
And there’s nothing much more that you liked than an old analog motel
Cm9/B C Cm9/B Am D9/F#
If you’re exiting the turnpike, I guess it’s just as well
 
[Chorus]
G Gadd11

You were outta the gate too soon
