     (Played with a swing beat)

         C5     F5     C5     F5

         C5              F5           C5           F5
         Walking on the water, in a van
         C5         E5       A5   E5      G5
         Trying to think of everything I can
                  F5            G5
         But it's getting very late
                   E5                   A5
         And these tapes don't sound no good
                F5                               G5
         And my body, just don't feel the way I wish it would

         I was driving when I heard you call my name

         It was not like before, not quite the same

         It's to late to be much good

         And I might as well confess

         That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes

     Chorus:
         C5        E5               G5
         When I'm almost with you, music tries to play
         Whem I'm almost home, I almost hear you say
         It'll be alright if we could run away

                    
         (Here, you can either play C  F  C  F, or the following bass fill)


         E----------------------------------------------------------
         B----------------------------------------------------------
         G----------------------------------------------------------
         D----------------------------------------------------------
         A--3--3-----3--0----------------3--3-----3--0--------------
         E--------3--------1--0--1-------------3--------1--0--1-----

         These silent things are all my life (???)
         No one ever tells me when or why
         Oh but my heart can't seem to tell me
         What would satisfy my mind
         So I jump into that van just one more time

         Chorus (and Bass fill)

         Solo ( C5  E5  A5  G5  A5  G5  E5  A5  F5  G5 )

         I was driving when I heard you call my name
         It was not like before, not quite the same
         Oh but my heart can't seem to tell me
         What would satisfy my mind
         So I jump into that van just one more time

         Chorus (Bass fill played twice)
