[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[Bbm] Are you gonna [F] call me in the morning?
Cause I noticed the look in [Bb] your eyes When our hands touched glancing [F] like boxers
Fighting for championship [Bb] prizes I was just looking for [Dm] a good time
[F] I never thought [Gm] I'd find it [F]
[Bbm]
[D] But I'll be back [Bbm] on the 9 to 5 [F] grind tomorrow
Times are hard and the pills [Bbm] are deep I can barely make [Dm] ends meet
I [F] can't take care of you, [Bb] so [F] I know we've had a [Dm] good ride
[F] But there's no [Gm] pressure to follow through [F]
[Bb]
[Bbm] Cause I've never crossed the ocean
[F] I've only stood barefoot [Bb] on the shore Never been to Memphis
[Dm] But I swear I [Fm] will someday [Bb] And if I'm being honest, [D] I've never been [Fm] in love before
[Gm] I've just been chasing shadows, [F]
[Bb] [Fm] praying that it waits
[Dm] [Fm]
[Dm] [Bb] [Fm]
And
[Bbm] you're not gonna call me in the [F] morning That's alright dear, it's no [Bb] surprise
Plus I heard you [Dm] got a girl back home [Fm] She must have slipped your mind
[Bb] We were out having [Dm]
a good time [Fm]
[Bb] And these sort of things, they happen without [F] warning
In the morning, you won't know [Bb] my name [Dm] Always the spark, never [Bb] the flame
[Fm]
[Bb] I've never crossed the [F] ocean I've only stood barefoot [Bb] on the shore
I've never been to [Dm] Memphis But I swear [Fm] I will someday
[Bb] And if I'm being [F] honest, I've never been in love before
[Bb] I've just been chasing [F] shadows,
[Bb] [Fm] praying that it waits
[Gm] And [Bb] I can [Fm] be alone a [C] little longer [F] if it [Gm] means
[F] That love is rising like the dawn to [Bb] shine on me
I'm running [F] on, life ain't half as long as it [Gm] seems
[Fm] And it's not gonna wait for me [Bbm] I'm gonna cross the ocean [Dm] and swim [Fm] till I lose the shore
[Bb] I've never been to Memphis But [Fm] I'm on my way
And [Bb] I'm just being [Fm] honest No, I've never been in love
[Gm]
But I've seen its [F] shadows
[Bb] Oh, [Gm]
I've seen its [F] shadows
And I pray that it waits for [Dm] me
[Bb] [F]
[Gm]
[N]
