  Gadd9   
I didn't take a suitcase

         Gadd9   
I had to travel light

          Gadd9   
I climbed out my bedroom window

       Gadd9   
It was just about, quarter past midnight
[Verse 2]
D 
   Out on the highway

            G 
I hitched a ride, I was heading west

         D 
I had to listen to some trucker

   G 
Tell me all about the meaning of life

D 
   Got a ride just outside of Memphis

      G 
I was wild out on the road

     D 
I saw shanties and shacks and burned out Cadillac's

G 
   And faces that glittered like gold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A 
   Shoulda seen it coming

G 
   Shoulda seen the signs

      A 
I saw seven horses running

        G                     N.C.
I had a front row seat at the end of time
[Chorus]
      D 
I was just fifteen

        G 
And the world was mine

      D 
And I watched my dreams

           A 
Come to life on that night

            G 
I saw Elvis in Vegas

                  Bm 
I saw Elvis in Vegas
[Verse 3]
    D 
Now since that long lost summer

G 
   I ain't ever looked back

        Bm 
Now the lines on my face

            A 
Are looking more like cracks

         D 
When the dreams all crumble

             G 
It's time to face the facts

      Bm 
I don't care about tomorrow

            G 
Oh, there's no looking back
[Pre-Chorus 2]
  A 
I shoulda seen it coming

  G 
I shoulda seen the signs

      A 
I saw seven horses running

        G 
I had a front row seat at the end of time
[Chorus]
      D 
I was just fifteen

        G 
And the world was mine

      D 
And I watched my dreams

        A 
Come to life on that night

      D 
I was standing tall

                G 
Thought I would never die

      D 
And I watched it all

       A 
In the white spotlight

  G 
I saw Elvis in Vegas

               Bm 
I saw Elvis in Vegas

               G
I saw Elvis in Vegas

               A       G5 A5 B5 D5
I saw Elvis in Vegas

[Verse 4]
         D 
When the lights went out

            G
I heard the young girls scream

             D 
The sound of my heartbeat

             G                N.C.
Would make the thunder proud
[Chorus]
      D 
I was just fifteen

[Outro] (Spoken over the intro riff)
Gadd9   
   Is your heart full of pain?

Gadd9   
   Should I come back again?

Gadd9   
   Tell me dear

Gadd9   
Are you lonesome tonight?
