Morning Elvis Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[D]n t[C]hey[G] dr[D]ess[C]ed
[G]me and
they [D]put me on the plane to [C]Memphis, well
I [G]never got to see [D]Elvis[C]
I just [G]sweated it out [D]in a motel room
But I [C]think the king
would have understood
[G]Why I never made [D]it [C]to Graceland

[Verse 2]
The bathroom [G]tiles were cool
[D]against my hea[C]d
I pressed my [G]forehead to the [D]floor
and I [C]prayed for a trapdoor
I've [G]been here many times before
[D]But I'v[C]e never made
it [G]to [D]Gra[C]celand
If I make [G]it to the morning

[Verse 3]
[D]
[C]I shoulda come wit[G]h a warning
[D]And [C]if I make it to the stage,
[G]I'll show you[D] what it mea[C]ns
To be saved
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Well, pick me [G]up in New Or[D]leans
[C]Pinned in a bathroom stall
Pick me [G]up above my [D]body
Press my [C]corpse against the wall

[Verse 5]
I told the band [G]to leave without [D]me
I'll [C]get the next flight and
I'll see [G]you all with [D]Elvis
If I [C]don't survive the night

[Verse 6]
If I make it to the [G]morning[D]
[C]I shoulda come with a w[G]arning[D][C]
If I make it to the stage,
[G]I'll show you[D] what it mea[C]ns
To be [G]saved
[D]And

[Verse 7]
[C]after eve[Am]ry tour, I swear I'll quit
[G]It's all[D] the boys now, this is [Am]it
But the call, it always comes
[G]And songs l[D]ike children
[Am]beg gin' to be born
But, I guess I [G]got my [D]wish
Anything, [G]anything, anything but [C]this
If I make [G]it to the morning

[Verse 8]
[D]I s[C]houlda come with a warn[G]ing
[D]If [C]I make it to the stage,
[G]I'll show you[D] what it mea[C]ns
To be saved
[G][D]

[Verse 9]
[C]
Well, you know I'm still [G]afraid[D]
[C]I'm still crazy and I'm still sca[G]red
[D]But [C]if I mak[G]e it to the stage,
[D]I'll sho[C]w you what it means
To be spared
[G][D]

[Verse 10]
[C]
To be [G]spared[D][C]
To be [G]spared[D][C]
[G]To be [D]spared[C]
To be [G]spared

[Verse 11]
