               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

Float away

Go---ne  to stay

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

Float away

            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]

And I just float away

Float away

Go---ne  to stay

And never return

         A   E
Never return
