🎸 Intro: 

G  D  C  G  D  C    ( x2 )



🎸 Verse 1:
             G                D                     C  
When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well
    G               D  C 
I never got to see Elvis
         G                  D
I just sweated it out in a hotel room
      C
But I think the king would have understood
 G               D          C
Why I never made it to Graceland
              G           D               C
The bathroom towels were cool against my head
              G                D        C            
I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor
G                 D
I've been here many times before
      C                         G  D  C
But I've never made it to Graceland

🎸 Chorus: 
                         G   D  C
And if I make it to the mornin'  
                         G  D  C      
I should've come with a warnin'.
                         G 
And if I make it to the stage
       D               C
I'll show you what it means
       G  D  C 
To be sad    

🎸 Verse 2:
              G             D 
Well, pick me up in New Orleans
             C
Pinned in a bathroom stall
         G           D
Pick me up above my body
          C                 
Press my corpse against the wall
            G                     D
I told the band to leave without me
     C   
I'll get the next flight
G                 D
And I'll see you all with Elvis
      C     
If I don't survive the night

🎸 Chorus: 
                         G   D  C
And if I make it to the mornin'  
                         G  D  C      
I should've come with a warnin'  
                         G 
And if I make it to the stage
       D               C
I'll show you what it means
       G  D  C 
To be sad    

🎸 Bridge: 
              Am                      G
And if they'd ever tore us where I quit
      D
It's all the boys now, this is it
Am                        
But the calm, it always comes
G                   D       
In the songs like children
               Am
Begging to be born
                    G       D
But, oh
I guess I got my wish
           G          D          C
Anything, anything, anything but this

🎸 Chorus: 
                         G   D  C
And if I make it to the mornin'  
                         G  D  C      
I should've come with a warnin'  
                         G 
And if I make it to the stage
       D               C
I'll show you what it means
       G  D  C 
To be sad    
                          G  D  C   
Oh, you know I'm still afraid    
                                 G  D  C  
I'm still crazy and I'm still scared    
          G                D
And if I make it to the stage
C
I'll show you what it means
         G  D  C 
To be spared    
         G  D  C 
To be spared    
         G  D  C 
To be spared    
         G  D  C 
To be spared    
         C 
To be spared.
