[Verse 1]
Ab                            
She was lying on the floor and 
Eb/G
counting stretch marks
Fm7                          C#
She hadn't been a virgin and he 
hadn't been a god
Ab               Eb/G
So she names the baby Elvis
Fm7                    C#
To make up for the royalty he lacked

[Chorus]
Ab                      Eb/G
And from then on it was turpentine 
and patches
Fm7                       C#
From then on it was cold Campbell's 
from the can
Ab                           Eb/G
And they were just two jerks playing
 with matches
Fm7                      C#
Cause that's all they knew how to 
play

[Instrumental] (x2)

[Verse 2]
Ab                                
And it was raining cats and dogs 
   Eb/G
out side of her window
Fm7                               
And she knew they were destined to
   C#
 become

Sacred road kill on the way
                             Fm    
And she was listening to the sound 
            Eb/G
of heavens shaking
                     C#            
Thinking about puddles, puddles and
   Ab
 mistakes

[Chorus]
                Eb/G
Cause it's been turpentine and 
patches
     Fm7            C#
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from
 the can
Ab                          Eb/G
And they were just two jerks playing
 with matches
 Fm7                  C#          
Cause that's all they knew how to 
F#
play

[Verse 3]
Ab                Eb/G
Elvis never could carry a tune
Fm7                                
She thought about this irony as she
C#
 stared back at the moon
Ab                  Eb/G         
She was tracing her years with 
                 Fm7
her fingers on her skin
                C#
Saying why don't I begin again
Ab      Eb/G
With turpentine and patches
Fm7             C#
With cold, cold Campbell's from the 
can
Ab                         Eb/G
After all I'm still a jerk playing 
with matches
Fm7                              
It's just that he's not around to 
C#
play along
Ab                  Eb/G
I'm still an asshole playing with 
candles
Fm7               C#
Blowing out wishes blowing out 
dreams
Ab                    Eb/G
Just sitting here and trying to 
decipher
Fm7                       C#      
What's written in Braille upon my 
F#
skin...
