West Virginia

       G
“Is it raining where you are?”
         C                      Em
The only thing I could think to ask
            G                G
But nothing ever hurt so bad
        C                 Em
As the “no” that you said back


                    C/B      A
But ain't that the truth, man?
          C        G
Those are just facts
                C/B               A
The farther you go from where you start
              C            G
The harder it is to get back


[Chorus]

        C     D
Love of my life
     G      Em
Gone forever
        C     D
Love of my life
         G
Gone for good
G
This is for all my friends in West Virginia

[Verse]
    G          C          Em         C
The good stuff comes, the good stuff goes
    G          C        Em      C
The good stuff seems so hard to hold
    G           C     Em         C
Hope it slides slowly down your throat
       G        C      Em
So the taste of it may linger

      G       C        Em      C
Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)
G      C        Em        C
On the brink of eruption (like I said!)
     G        C      Em     C
Right now I'm just a psycho
     G
Hell bent on self-destruction
     Em           C
Hell bent on self-destruction
     G
Hell bent on self-destruction
     Em           C
Hell bent on self-destruction


[Chorus]

        C     D
Love of my life
     G       Em
Gone forever
        C     D
Love of my life
         G
Gone for good

  G      C     Em     C
I wish I may I wish I might
    G        C
One day live life
       Em        C
Like a person in paradise

      G       C        Em      C
Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)
G      C        Em        C
On the brink of eruption (like I said!)
    G        C      Em    C
Right now I'm just a psycho
     G
Hell bent on self-destruction
     Em           C
Hell bent on self-destruction
     G
Hell bent on self-destruction
     Em           C
Hell bent on self-destruction

There ain't no doctor on Earth
(D)            Em      G
There ain't no lord up above
G           C             D        C   D
Who knows a strong enough medicine
(D)      Em       G
Or a life-saving love

[Verse]
(G)                     C/B         A
Like I said I thought I was focused
                   C           G
I thought I had it figured out
         C/B               A
I had to organize my words good
              C                 G
Before they'd fall right out my mouth
                        C/B          A
And I had learned that the direction
      C              G
I was walking was so wrong
                     C/B            A
I just need a little help here, man
            C                G
To find the path I should be on


[Chorus]

        C     D
Love of my life
     G       Em
Gone forever
        C     D
Love of my life
         G
Gone for good
        C     D
Love of my life
     G       Em
Gone forever
        C
Get her back good Lord
D             G
Know I wish I could
