Virginia, No One Can Warn You
By Tift Merritt

Capo 5

          C         D           G         C
With your eyes made up and your dress see thru
          C        D                 G       C
With your heart so big it don’t know what to do
          C        D              G      C
You’re my favorite thing my sweet cavelier
         Am                      D 
You have saved my life, I got to leave you here

Chorus:
      G                 D
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
      Em            C
Oh Virginia, I have tried to
         G                     D
When the winter comes, how the cold moves thru
      C      D          G
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

I can not explain how you should begin
I can’t give you word, it won’t all cave in
There’s no good way home, there’s no place to rest
There’s no room down here for a pretty mess

Chorus

You don’t know it yet with your brand new kiss
You don’t want to stay here and live like this
The worst I could do, oh, what would I be
If I kept for mine something better than me

Chorus
