[Ab] She was lying on the floor [Eb] and counting [Fm] stretch marks
She hadn't been a virgin and [Db] she hadn't been a [Ab] god
So she named the [G] baby [Eb] _
[Fm] Elvis to make up for the [Db] royalty he [Ab] lacked
And from then on it was [Eb] turpentine and [Fm] patches
From then on it was called Campbell's from the can
[Ab] And they were just two jerks [Abm] playing with matches
[Fm] Cause that's all they [Db] knew how to [Ab] _ play

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ And it was [Ab] raining cats and dogs [G] outside of her window
[Fm] And she knew they'd be destined to [Db] become sacred or all [Ab] would kill on the way
And she was listening to [G] the sound of [Fm] heaven shaking
Thinking about [Db] puddles and puddles [Ab] and mistakes
Cause it's been [G] _ turpentine and [Fm] patches
It's been called, called Campbell's from the [Ab] can

_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Elvis never could [G] [Eb] carry a tune
And [Fm] she thought about this irony [Db] as she stared back at the moon
[Ab] She was tracing her [Eb] years with her fingers on her [Fm] skin
Saying, well why [Db] don't I begin again [Ab] with _ _
[Eb] Turpentine and patches
[Fm] With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
[Ab] After all I'm still a jerk [Eb] playing with matches
[Fm] It's just that he's not [Db] around to play along, yeah
[Ab] I'm still an [G] asshole playing [Eb] with [Fm] candles
Blown out [Db] wishes, blown out [Ab] dreams
Just sitting here [G] and trying to decipher
