C Fmaj7/A C Fmaj7/A [Verse 1]
C              Fmaj7/A    C   Fmaj7/A
Walking on the water in a van

C        G/B      Am           G
Tryin to think of everything I can

         F            G
But it's getting very late

          Em                   Am
And these tapes don't sound no good

       F
And my body just don't feel

          G
The way I wish it would
[Verse 2]
      C              Fmaj7/A           C    Fmaj7/A
I was driving when I heard you call my name

C      G/B      Am                   G
It was not like before not quite the same

         F               G          Em            Am
It's too late to be much good and I might as well confess

       F                                G
That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes
[Chorus]
C         Em              Dm             F
 When I'm almost with you music tries to play

C         Em            Dm              F
 When I'm almost home I almost hear you say

C         Em              Dm            F
 It would be all right if we could run away

C        Fmaj7/A           C    Fmaj7/A
Deciding things for all my life

C      G/B  Am                G
No one ever tells you when or why

       F                   G
But my heart can't seem to tell me

           Em         Am
What would satisfy my mind

     F                                G
So I jump into that van just one more time
[Chorus]
C         Em              Dm             F
 When I'm almost with you music tries to play

C         Em            Dm              F
 When I'm almost home I almost hear you say

C         Em              Dm            F
 It would be all right if we could run away

Oooh and my heart can't seem to tell me
