Virginia Woolf

  F                   Em
Some will strut and some will fret
  F                         Em
See this an hour on this stage
    F                         Em
Others will not but they'll sweat
           F                     Em
In their hopelessness in their rage
                F
We're all the same
The men of anger
           G
And the women of the page

  G                   C
They published your diary
                               F
And that's how I got to know you
 C                                              G
Key to the room of your own and a mind without end
                     C
And here's a young girl
                 D                      F
On a kind of a telephone line through time
          C                                            D
And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend

               F
So I know I'm all right
               G
My life will come my life will go
                    F
Still I feel it's all right
                     G
Cause I just got a letter to my soul
          C     F
When my whole life is on the tip of my tongue
        G
Empty pages for the no longer young
                F
The apathy of time laughs in my face
     G                      C
You say each life has its place

  F                G    C
The hatches were battened
                  G                     F
Thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed
   G          C                           G   F
Battles surrounded the white flag of your youth
                     C
But if you need to know that you weathered the storm
             G   D F
Of cruel mortality
     C                                          G  F
A hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof

So you know it's all right
                G
Your life will come your life will go
                     F
Still you feel it's all right
                     G
Someone will get a letter to your soul
                  F
When your whole life was on the tip of your tongue
       G
Empty pages for the no longer young
                F
The apathy of time laughed in your face
                  G                     C  F
Did you hear me say each life has its place

                      C
The place where you hold me
               F
Is dark in a pocket of truth
      C                                              A# F
The moon has swallowed the sun and the light of the earth
               C                        G            F
And so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life
                C
And sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me
                 F
And it was my rebirth

So we know we're all right
            G
Life will come and life will go
                        F
Still you'll feel it's all right
             G
Someone'll get a message to your soul
      C                        F
(And then you'll know you're all right)
And when my life is on the tip of my tongue
                           G
(Then you'll feel you're all right)
Empty pages for the no longer young
                        F                  G
(The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)
You said each life has its place
                       F                   G
(The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)
And you said each life has its place
          Em    F   G
And it's all right
