[verse]
          C
You're a little long in the tooth, 
babe
        F                    C
Me, I'm puffy and under the weather
         C        C/B       Am
But the drunker I get, that band 
gets tighter,
    D7                     G
and honey, you're lookin' better
   C
So here's to dim lights in dingy 
bars,
       F
to the alcohol haze and the smoke
        C         C/B          Am
and the chance to reinvent ourselves
     D7         G      C
Hey baby, let's go for broke

[chorus]
    F           C         G       
And pretend I'm Elvis for just one 
 C
night
       F        C         D7     
I will call you Priscilla, if 
       G
that's alright
             F           C        
Hey don't we look sorta like em' 
      E     Am
in the neon light?
      D                  Dm       
Let's pretend I'm Elvis, darlin', 
     G     F    C
 for just one night

[verse]
         C
Now it's one a.m and we follow the 
band

       F                C
down a dead and lonely street
         C     C/B       Am
Here's a song about our destiny,
   D7                G
how we were meant to meet
    C
So drink up honey and wrap me
        F
in good looks, fortune and fame
        C        C/B         Am
I don't need to know who you really 
are
          D7       G      C
You don't need to know my name

[chorus]

      D                  Dm       
Let's pretend I'm Elvis, darlin', 
     G     F    C
 for just one night

[bridge]
         Am                        
Two more drinks and that cab 
                C
outside will become a limo
        Am                         
You and me we gotta hang on tight 
               Em
to this fragile spell
    Dm                           
But girl, it ain't easy and I get 
           Am
queasy as hell
Dm
lookin' at a map where every road 
leads back
      G                      G7
to my room at the Heartbreak Hotel

[verse}
           C
We all need God's redemption, honey
        F               C
Tonight Graceland is a bar
       C   C/B       Am
And even if I don't sing too good,
    D7          G
or play the guitar
C
I think I could love you tender,
F
treat you like a queen,
       C      C/B    Am
We can work a little magic
           D7      G      C
If you'll imagine I'm the King
