[Intro] A E G Bm A E G Bm A [Verse 1]
            E                   G                  Bm                A
I lay on my back in the lake at night in the summer time trying to remember

           E                  G                        Bm     A
Every last second, every last breath that I spent with you

                  E                       G
The dotted yellow line, reflected in your eyes

                  Bm                       A   E
You scream as the crickets fly in the open window
Please don't cry love [Chorus]
Bm   A  E             A            D
Come on babe, we both know that I'll stay

    Bm       E           A          D
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway

      C#m        D
Let's go and see her

      C#m       D         A
Let's ask her blessings today
E G Bm A [Verse 2]
                E        G                 Bm   A
We've both felt love before, even if we deny it

                 E         G                          Bm
That familiar feeling of believing that we'll die without it

             E
But we never do, well not completely
[Chorus]
Bm   A  E             A              D
Come on babe, we both know that I'll stay

    Bm       E           A          D
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway

      C#m        D
Let's go and see her

      C#m       D         A
Let's ask her blessings today
E F#m A E F#m A
          E   F#m
You know I'm adrift without you

     A                 E       F#m
Come on home, you know I still feel it

    A
Yeah

          E   F#m
You know I'm adrift without you

      A               E        F#m
Come on home, you know I still feel it

    A
Yeah
