Verse 1:
Ab Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
Fm7 Db
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
Ab Eb
So she names the baby Elvis
Fm7 Db
To make up for the royalty he lacked
Chorus:
Ab Eb
And from then on it was turpentine and patches
Fm7 Db
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
Ab Eb
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Fm7 Db
Cause that's all they knew how to play

Verse 2:
Ab Eb
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
Fm7 Db

Eb Fm7
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
Db Ab
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes

Eb
Cause it's been turpentine and patches

Ab Eb
Elvis never could carry a tune
Fm7 Db
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
Ab Eb Fm7
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
Db
Saying why don't I begin again
Ab Eb
With turpentine and patches
Fm7 Db
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
Ab Eb
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
Fm7 Db
It's just that he's not around to play along
Ab Eb
I'm still an a**hole playing with candles
Fm7 Db
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Ab Eb
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
Fm7 Db Gb
What's written in Braille upon my skin...
