Memphis

D

[Verse 1]
  G                         
Are you gonna call me in the 
   D
morning?
           A                      
'Cause I noticed the look in your 
Bm
eyes
           G
When our hands touched, glancing 
like
  A                             
Boxers fighting for championship 
   Bm
prizes
             G              D     
I was just looking for a good 
             A          Bm
time, I never thought I'd find it

[Verse 2]
      G                            
And I'll be back on the 9 to 5 
     D
grind tomorrow
          A                      Bm
Times is hard and the bills are due
        G                D        
I can barely make ends meet, I 
          A
can't take care of you, so
      G                 D
Oh I know we've had a good ride
                  A              
But there's no pressure to follow 
   Bm      A
through

[Chorus]
  G
Some never cross the ocean
       D              A       
I've only stood barefoot on the 
     Bm
shore
              G                 
I've never been to Memphis but I 
           A
swear I will someday

         G                D       
And if I, if I'm being honest I've
    A                  Bm
 never been in love before

I've just been chasing shadows
    A                        D
Praying that it waits for me

[Verse 3]
      G                            
And you're not gonna call me in the
    D
 morning
             A                 
That's all right, dear, it's no 
    Bm
surprise
          G
Plus I heard you got a girl back 
home
                 A
She must have slipped your mind 
while
         G                  D
We were out having a good time
      G                    D
And these things always happen 
without warning
           A                     Bm
In the morning you will know my name
                              A
Always the spark, never the flame

[Chorus]
  G
Some never cross the ocean
       D              A       
I've only stood barefoot on the 
     Bm
shore
              G                 
I've never been to Memphis but I 
           A
swear I will someday
         G                D       
And if I, if I'm being honest I've
    A                  Bm
 never been in love before

I've just been chasing shadows
    A
Praying that it waits. . .

[Bridge]
    Bm         D              A  
And I can be alone a little 
         Bm
longer if it means
               D              A   
That love is rising like the dawn 
             Bm
to shine on me
            D                      
I'm running on, life ain't half as 
 A           G
long as it seems
                A         G
It isn't gonna wait for me

[Chorus]
            G                   D 
I'm gonna cross the ocean and swim
           A        Bm
 'till I lose the shore
                     G             
I've never been to Memphis but I'm 
       A
on my way
                    D              
And I'm just being honest, but I've
   A                  Bm
 never been in love before
          G
And I've seen its shadows
           G          Bm
Yes I've seen its shadow
         G                      
Oh I've seen its shadows praying 
           A         D
that it waits for me
