♫ Intro:   E A


♫ Verse 1:

  E
I can't stop thinkin’ of you
A                                       E
All these nights I've been crying on my pillow
    E
I'm pushing down on my blue suede boots
A                                             E
Got the windows rolled down, the pedal to the metal

♫ Pre-Chorus 1:

B
A small-town southern boy
        A
Meets a midtown city girl
B
He wanted to be true and settle down
A
I wanted to see the world



♫ Chorus:

                 E
Forty miles from Memphis
            A
I’m driving all night through
    D                                 A
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
                   E
It took a while to get this
          A
I'm on my way back to you
  D                                 A
I hope it's not too late when I get home
                 E            A
Forty miles from Memphis



♫ Verse 2:

  E
I walked on the wild side
A                              E
Followed anywhere the wind was blowing
E
Smooth talking, big time player lines
A                            E
Pulled me in without me even knowing



♫ Pre-Chorus 2:

B
Somewhere deep inside
  A
I still knew wrong from right
B
Running on empty
      A
Blind but then I saw the light



♫ Chorus:

                 E
Forty miles from Memphis
            A
I'm driving all night through
    D                                 A
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
                   E
It took a while to get this
          A
I’m on my way back to you
  D                                 A
I hope it’s not too late when I get home
                 E            A
Forty miles from Memphis
                 E            A
Forty miles from Memphis
