[Verse]
Em          A    
House in Virginia
G            D       A   
We'd love to see you Emma
Em         A     
Red velvet chairs
G          D      A   Em 
For you to sit on Emma
[Verse]
Blue colbalt tea cups
Every shape every size your favorite designs
White flawed enammel pots
And a place on the shelf for everything you've got
Em F#m G 
[Chorus]
D            E7        G    Em 
When are you coming to stay?
D               E7        G  Em 
Say that you'll never go away
A D 
[Verse]
Porch swings and everything
Your favorite pets they're everywhere
Willow trees and a cool breeze
Lemonade freshly squeezed
[Verse]
Sun-thickened linseen oil
His studio equipped for brooding
Alcohol and turpentine
Somehow you find it soothing
[Chorus]
D            E7        G    Em 
When are you coming to stay?
D               E7        G  Em 
Say that you'll never go away
D            E7        G    Bb 
When are you coming to stay?
D                E7        G   Em A 
(Say that you'll never go away)
[Outro]
D                 A          
She stands at the full length
  Em                                     
Admiring herself in her grandmother's hat
D                 A                
She says when she gets her strength
      Em                                     
She's flying away and she's never coming back
D         A       
I'm done, I'm done
C#m       D   E Asus D 
I'm done, I'm undone
