intro : C F G

verse :
C
slept high up in the rockies
F G C F C
set my clock for californ – i – ey – aye
Em F
and i dreamed up somethin special to give that ocean
G C F C
man , she cuffs me anyway

so im banking on virginia
to keep me calm and clear and straight
just like clock work seems to tell us
with every passing storm theres just a harder hail

chorus :
Am C/B C Am C/B C
so light my way , virginia may
C G
i cant sit still , just pace across this hallway
Am C/B C
we spent all this time
Am C/B C
just trading crimes ,
G
while the tune – smith packed a lunch ,
F C F C
hes headed down the coastline

C F G C F C

theres a loneliness thats blowin
well i heard it from the radio man
hes been locked up in the belfry
listening close , to a string upon a can

me , im sailin on to that savior ,
shes a pilgrim living on the modern time
and ever since i found her magic
now every car or cloud that passes is a sign

light my way , virginia may
i cant sit still just pace across this hallway
we spent all this time
just trading crimes

and im saving all my sleep for another life
im saving all my sleep for another life .
