                               C#m  A
Ain't that the way it always starts.
E        F#m            C#m    A
A simple round of conversation.
E          F#m      C#m    A
Became a shameful equation.
E              F#m         C#m  A
I flipped you station to station.

C#m A E            F#m            C#m A
Hey.  Don't go and turn the other way.
E                 F#m             C#m A
Don't say there's nothing more to say.
E        F#m
Come on, hear me out.
C#m          A
Hush, hush, settle down.
 E                F#m
Button up, don't make a sound.
C#m            A
Shame, shame, go away.
 E              F#m
Come again some other day.

C#m                         A
You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
              E                       B          F#
so I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
C#m                           A
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
           E                        B         C
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.

Chorus:
C#m           F#m          A          B C
You are not me,  Arlandria, Arlandria,
C#m               F#m          A
You and what army,   Arlandria, Arlandria
B            C             C#m
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.

Chase all of those memories away
Save them all for another day
Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you
Wait, I wanna see if you can shake
I want to keep all I can take
I feel much better now, use me up, spit me out
Let me be your hand-me-down, fame, fame, go away
Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up

Chorus

C#m  A            E         B            F#     C#m
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your arm.
C#m  A            E         B         C          C#m
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart.

C#m           A
Shame, shame go away,
 E              F#m
come again some other day.
C#m            A
Memories keep haunting me.
 E                 F#m
Help me chase them all away.
C#m        A
Hush, now settle down,
 E              F#m
button up, don't make a sound.
C#m               A
Close your eyes, turn around.
 E                F#m
Help me burn this to the ground.
C#m        A                E                F#m
Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game.
C#m                A              E             F#m
I don't care, it's all the same, watch it all go up in flames.
C#m          A
Use me up, spit me out,
E              F#m
let me be your hand-me-down.
C#m          A        E              F#m
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day.

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up

Chorus

My sweet Virginia, oh god you gotta make it stop
My sweet Virginia, oh god you gotta make it stop
