Intro:
G G C C
Verse 1:
G C
When I am gone, I know the waiting gets to you
G
It's like the world stopped turning
C
You're frozen, no one seems to notice the absence of the wind
Am C G
I know you're lonely, it's the kind lonely I feel out here
Chorus:
C Em D
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans
C Em D
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels, dirty sheets and hourly rates,
C Em D
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor, burn up the stage like an old troubadour
C G
I wanna get stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
Verse 2:
G C
And I've been down, in Mississippi river towns for far too long
G
There's something about the night life, something about this bar
C Am
There's something in the music, the brass, the drum beat like a heart
C G Am C G
It reminds of your eyes and coal black hair, I am growing ever lonelier out here
Chorus:
C Em D
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans
C Em D
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels, dirty sheets and hourly rates,
C Em D
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor, burn up the stage like an old troubadour
C G
I wanna get stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
Chorus:
C Em D
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans
C Em D
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels, dirty sheets and hourly rates,
C Em D
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor, burn up the stage like an old troubadour
C G
I wanna get stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
