[Intro]
E  B  A E E

[Verse 1]
               E
Down Delaware River,
          B
 I went with her
          A
We pulled over by the
           E
silvery blue
               E
Leather seat Chevy,
                B
 sticky and sweaty
          A
We went swimmin'
                   B
 in our birthday suits

[Verse 2]
              E
A sleepy mamasita,
                  B
thermos of margaritas
                   A
We’re never gonna make
                      E
 it back to New York now
                    E
Freckles on your shoulder
                B
 get me growin' older
            A
I gotta be holdin'
               F#
on to you somehow

[Chorus]
              B    A
Before you float away
   B    A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E
And never return

[Verse 3]
                E                B
I keep an old photo when I ride solo
         A                   E
Hidden away on the driver's side
                 E              B
Torn and out of focus, I don't notice
              A
Till I was cleanin
                    B
' out the van last night

[Verse 4]
              E               B
Tucked away sweetly in an old CD
             A                  E
Between the pages of the liner notes
                E
How could I forget you
                B
 like I never met you
         A
Mama, I never should have
         F#
let you go

[Chorus]
           B    A
Let you float away
   B   A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E
And never return

[Verse 5]
            E
Maybe I'll see her
               B
 in an old theater
          A
When I'm rollin like a
           E
rolling stone
              E
Pickin out a new tune,
                  B
 lookin' round a big room
           A             B
In Baton Rouge or San Anton

[Verse 6]
           E
On a Saturday night,
                  B
underneath the spotlight
          A                 E
We’ll communicate a secret song
                   C#m
That I could never do  right,
                 G#m
never knew the good life
        A                    F#
Always packed up, soon to be gone

[Chorus]
              B    A
And I just float away
   B    A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E   B
And never return
         A   E
Never return
