Verse:
            C            F
It's been a long road Virginia
       Am7 G  C
What a lonely place
     F            C                G        
Even god can't forgive what you've done
       C               F
In the dark and cold remember
         Am7   G  C
What you can't replace
        F             C              G        
All the time that was lost with your son

Pre Chorus:
        Am7            G           C
All the times that you tried to forget
         Am7          G               C
And your home, just a place where you lived
        Am7           G
You had time, time to fight
        C         F
Time to make it alright

Chorus:
             Am7  G    C
If you could come back home
                Am7 G C
Still you would never know
        Am7  G    C       G
All the love that you let go
            Am7 G C
If you could ever see
             Am7 G  C
Just how you let it be
             Am7 G C       G
You'd wonder why I still believe

Verse:
            C            F
We've had a hard time Virginia
       Am7  G      C
What a mess you've made
        F             C            G
As your son hangs his head full of shame
             C               F
But it's the one thing you remembered
         Am7  G   C
When you gave his name
     F             C             G
To a child full of hope, without blame

Pre Chorus:
     Am7           G           C
To a child who now tries to forget
          Am7         G              C
The loneliness in his heart when you left
        Am7           G    
You had time, time to care
        C         F
Time to always be there


Chorus

Verse:
            C            F
It's been a long time Virginia
           Am7   G    C
Since I've heard your name
     F         C          G    
Even I don't remember the lies
         C                 F
But as I lay and watch the stars I...
      Am7 G    C
I can see your face
    F          C            G
I remember the love in your eyes

Pre Chorus:
    Am7        G              C
I remember the times that you held me
    Am7        G              C
I remember the times that you cared
    Am7        G  
I remember the times
         C             F
When you kissed me goodnight

Chorus:
             Am7  G    C
If you could come back home
        Am7 G   C
I would let you know
         Am7  G C         G
It's the love I can't let go
         Am7 G C
And only now I see
              Am7   G  C
Just what you meant to me
       Am7 G C       G
I know why I still believe
