Chords

[Verse 1]
C                      G
You can hear the hotel humming

    Em                                   Am
She grabs her shoes and heads out in the rain

D                     G                       G7          C
Another chorus of the times you could and you could not refrain

C                         G
The sun undresses the horizon

D                     Am
You grab your phone and text the lie

     Bm                    E                C
That you’re where you’re supposed to be this time
[Chorus]
Em
You watch the lightning flash

Am
Across the windowpane

            Bm             C                   G
But you can barely see the morning through the rain
[Verse 2]
C                       G
I carry distance like a burden

     Em               Am
My encumbrance and my strain

D                      G               G7            C
Forty years across the sands of your devotion and my shame

C                              G
So I’ll blow a kiss across thе garden

D                       Am
Gethsemanе, it seems to me

   Bm             E                 C
Virginia’s just a brick to ease the pain
[Chorus]
Em
I’m hardly able

            Am
To sort the sugar from the cane

          Bm             C                   G
Cuz I can barely see the morning through the rain

Em              Am
All my memories fit into a frame

          Bm             C                   G
But I can barely see the morning through the rain
[Bridge]
Am                        C
The deluge urges me ohhh, and the flood submerges me, ahhh

G
In her scent that lingers

        D
End her flavor on my fingers

Am
For every ark you fill

C                                D
There’s a hole you never will, inside
[Verse 3]
C                    G
So won’t you call me Moses

Em                   Am
Oh won’t you call my name

D                     G                       G7           C
Call me home, call me through the dark when I have lost my way

N.C.                  G
G-G-G-Ginny, please receive me

D                       Am
Oh trust me even when I lie

  Bm              E               C
Believe me when I say I’ll try to change
[Chorus]
Em
These clouds could wash me clean

       Am
All my sin and all my shame

          Bm            C                 G
But I can barely see Virginia through the rain

Em
All the world it runs in circles

        Am
Between heaven and the drain

          Bm            C                 G
But I can barely see Virginia through the rain
[Outro]
      Bm            C                 G
I can barely see Virginia through the rain

      Bm            C                 G
I can barely see Virginia through the rain
