Float Away

[Intro]
E B A E E

[Verse 1]
E B
Down Delaware River, I went with her
A E
We pulled over by the silvery blue
E B
Leather seat Chevy, sticky and sweaty
A B
We went swimmin’ in our birthday suits

[Verse 2]
E B
A sleepy mamasita, thermos of margaritas
A E
We’re never gonna make it back to New York now
E B
Freckles on your shoulder get me growin’ older
A F#
I gotta be holdin’ on to you somehow

[Chorus]
B A
Before you float away
B A
Float away
F#m F#7 B
Go—ne to stay
E
And never return

[Verse 3]
E B
I keep an old photo when I ride solo
A E
Hidden away on the driver’s side
E B
Torn and out of focus, I don’t notice
A B
Till I was cleanin’ out the van last night

[Verse 4]
E B
Tucked away sweetly in an old CD
A E
Between the pages of the liner notes
E B
How could I forget you like I never met you
A F#
Mama, I never should have let you go

[Chorus]
B A
Let you float away
B A
Float away
F#m F#7 B
Go—ne to stay
E
And never return

[Instrumental]
F#m B E C#m
F#m F#7 E/B B7

[Verse 5]
E B
Maybe I’ll see her in an old theater
A E
When I’m rollin like a rolling stone
E B
Pickin out a new tune, lookin’ round a big room
A B
In Baton Rouge or San Anton

[Verse 6]
E B
On a Saturday night, underneath the spotlight
A E
We’ll communicate a secret song
C#m G#m
That I could never do right, never knew the good life
A F#
Always packed up, soon to be gone

[Chorus]
B A
And I just float away
B A
Float away
F#m F#7 B
Go—ne to stay
E B
And never return
A E
Never return

[Outro]
