VERSE (Same as INTRO)
Ain't it funny how you pray for rain,
And then you bitch about the rust,
You go reaching for the sands of time,
Wind up with a hand full of dust.
CHORUS
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling out to Gme,
    ToDadd4night I'll Em7sleep, I'll Dadd4be all Cadd9right.
INTRO x2
VERSE (playing INTRO throughout)
And yeah I used to think I knew what love was,
And all I ever wanted was a song,
Until a girl's heart's too good for singing,
And you realize you were a damn fool all along.
PRECHORUS
    Em7Cause you got a heart that wants Cadd9everything,
    GBoy you got nothing at Dadd4all,
    Em7And it's kinda like how you talk to Cadd9God,
    GWhen you're all aDadd4lone.
CHORUS
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling out to Gme,
    ToDadd4night I'll Em7sleep, I'll Dadd4be all Cadd9right.
INTRO x4
VERSE (Same as INTRO again, strumming softly)
I guess sometimes it makes you wonder,
What you lose and what you gain,
With your conscience cocked to hear the thunder,
Boy you're just standing in the rain.
PRECHORUS (building up)
    Em7It makes its way down to the Cadd9rivers,
    GAnd gets lost somewhere in the Dadd4sea,
    Em7I thought I'd made a fool of Cadd9everyone,
    GWhat if the joke's on Dadd4me?
CHORUS
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling,
    Cadd9And I can hear Virginia Dcalling out to Gme,
    ToDadd4night I'll Em7sleep, I'll Dadd4be all Cadd9right.
INTRO x4
OUTRO - play INTRO one last time, end on G
Ain't it funny how you prayed for rain,
Still waiting on the rust.
