Lucy Dacus - VBS: chords

       G          Fmaj7     C              G
In the summer of '07 I was sure I'd go to heaven
                     Fmaj7   C G
But I was hedging my bets at VBS
                  Fmaj7           C
The preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a
 G
leader
                         Fmaj7         C        Am C
Taught me how to build a fire and to spread the word

In the evening, everybody went to worship and weep
Hands above our heads, reaching for God
Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunk bed
You were waiting for a revelation of your own

Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut
Locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your
heart
Waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted
You were gonna win me over from the start

Chorus:
    Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
    C             G
It took a lot to not laugh
     G           Fmaj7          C
You said that I showed you the light
            Am        C
But all it did in the end
              G         Fmaj7         C
Was make the dark feel darker than before

Your dad keeps his sleeves down through
the summer for a reason
Your mother wears her makeup extra thick
for a reason
When I tell you you were born and you
are here for a reason
You are not convinced the reason is a good one

While you're going to sleep, your mind
keeps you awake
And it makes your heart beat fast and loud
There's nothing you can do, but the only
thing you've found:
Playing Slayer at full volume helps to drown it out

Chorus

Dark feel darker than before
Dark feel darker than before
