{section: Verse}
So the ambulances[Am7] came
They took your [Dm]pulse and packed up your[G] things
And the papers [Am7]read
Some boys [C]forget what the heart it b[G]rings
And the pounding in the st[Am7]reet
Was your [Dm]heart in four four t[G]ime
And the taste of de[Am7]feat
Was was ne[C]ver too f[G]ar from your m[F/E]ind      [G/E]

{section: Chorus}
And M[Am]aria came from [F/E]Nashville with a su[C]itcase in her h[G]and
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ished I looked like [C]Elvis     [G]
And in my [Am]head there's all these [F/E]classic cars and [C]outlaw cowboy b[G]ands
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ish I'm someone [C]else   [G]

{section: Verse}
So gravity [Am7]came
And stole the [Dm]temple that the schoolboys [G]praised
And the crowd shuffled[Am7] in
You're getting [C]drinks for the same boys
Who[G] once bought you everyt[Am7]hing
And the patter on the bar  [Dm]
Was just this one[G] time
The patter on [Am7]the bar
Was just this [C]one night
[G]Only to get [F/E]by    [G/E]

I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ish I'm someone [C]else   [G]

    And at [Am7]night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
            [C] 2                    [G] 2
