[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
