[Intro]
C/G   Fmaj7/C  G6add4  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G
Em    Fmaj7/C  G6add4  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G
 
[Verse 1]
C/G
Slept high up in the Rockies
       Fmaj7/C       G6add4    C/G   Fmaj7/C   C/G
set my clock for californ-i-ey-aye.
      Em
And I dreamed up somethin' special
             Fmaj7/C        G6add4      C/G   Fmaj7/C   C/G
to give that ocean man, she cuffs me anyway.
       C/G
So I’m banking on Virginia
   Fmaj7/C          G6add4    C/G       Fmaj7/C   C/G
to keep me calm and clear and straight.
          Em
Just like clock work seems to tell us
           Fmaj7/C               G6add4        C/G     Fmaj7/C   C/G
with every passing storm there’s just a harder hail.
 
 
[Chorus]
     Fmaj7/C  C/G  Fmaj7/C  Am
So I light my way, Virginia May
  C/G                                    G
I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway.
         Fmaj7/C   C/G
We spent all this  time
     Fmaj7/C   Am
just trading   crimes,
          G
while the tune-smith packed a lunch,
     Fmaj7/C           C/G      Fmaj7/C   C/G
he’s headed down the coastline.
 
[Instrumental]
 
C/G  Fmaj7/C  G6add4  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G
Em   Fmaj7/C  G6add4  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G
 
 
[Verse 2]
          C/G
There’s a loneliness thats blowin'
       Fmaj7/C           G6add4  C/G     Fmaj7/C   C/G
well I heard it from the radio   man.
          Em
He’s been locked up in the belfry
          Fmaj7/C    G6add4        C/G     Fmaj7/C   C/G
listening close to a string upon a can.
 
        C/G
Me, I’m sailin on to that savior,
        Fmaj7/C        G6add4        C/G      Fmaj7/C   C/G
she’s a pilgrim living on the modern time.
         Em
And ever since I found her magic
          Fmaj7/C           G6add4      C/G     Fmaj7/C   C/G
now every car or cloud that passes is a sign.
 
 
[Chorus]
     Fmaj7/C  C/G  Fmaj7/C  Am
So I light my way, Virginia May
  C/G                                    G
I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway.
         Fmaj7/C  C/G
We spent all this time
     Fmaj7/C Am
just trading crimes,
 
 
[Outro]
        G                       Fmaj7/C  C/G
and I’m saving all my sleep for another  life
        G                       Fmaj7/C  C/G
and I’m saving all my sleep for another life
    G                       Fmaj7/C  C/G
I’m saving all my sleep for another  life
