Verse 1
[C]You can hear the hotel [G]humming
She [Em]grabs her shoes and heads out in the [Am]rain
[D]Another chorus of the [G]times you could and you [G7]could not [C]refrain
[C]The sun undresses the [G]horizon
[D]You [Am]grab your phone and text the lie
That [Bm]you’re where you’re [E]supposed to be this[C] time

[Am]Across the windowpane
But you can [Bm]barely see the [C]morning through the [G]rain

[D]Gethsemanе, it seems to [Am]me

[Am]The deluge urges me ohhh, [C]and the flood submerges me, ahhh

End her [D]flavor on my fingers
[Am]For every ark you fill
[C]There’s a hole you never will, [D]inside

All my [Am]sin and all my shame

Between [Am]heaven and the drain
But I can [Bm]barely see [C]Virginia through the [G]rain
