Memphis

D

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

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

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

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

[Verse 3]
      G                                D
And you're not gonna call me in the morning
             A                     Bm
That's all right, dear, it's no 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            Bm
I've only stood barefoot on the shore
              G                            A
I've never been to Memphis but I swear I will someday
         G                D           A                  Bm
And if I, if I'm being honest I've never been in love before

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

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

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