[Intro] Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2 [Verse 1]
Ab                            Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks

Fm7                          Db
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god

Ab               Eb
So she names the baby Elvis

Fm7                    Db
To make up for the royalty he lacked
[Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
And from then on it was turpentine and patches

Fm7                       Db
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can

Ab                           Eb
And they were just two jerks playing with matches

Fm7                      Db
Cause that's all they knew how to play
[Instrumental] Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2 [Verse 2]
Ab                                   Eb
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window

Fm7                                  Db
And she knew they were destined to become

                        Ab
Sacred road kill on the way

                             Eb               Fm7
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking

                     Db               Ab
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes
[Chorus]
                Eb
Cause it's been turpentine and patches

     Fm7            Db
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can

Ab                          Eb
And they were just two jerks playing with matches

 Fm7                  Db          Gb
Cause that's all they knew how to play
[Instrumental] Db Gb2 Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2 [Verse 3]
Ab                Eb
Elvis never could carry a tune

Fm7                                Db
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon

Ab                  Eb                          Fm7
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin

                Db
Saying why don't I begin again

Ab      Eb
With turpentine and patches

Fm7             Db
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can

Ab                         Eb
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches

Fm7                              Db
It's just that he's not around to play along

Ab                  Eb
I'm still an asshole playing with candles

Fm7               Db
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams

Ab                    Eb
Just sitting here and trying to decipher

Fm7                       Db      Gb
What's written in Braille upon my skin...
[Instrumental] Db Gb2 x3 Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2 [Outro]

She was lying on the floor and counting stretch

Ab                            Eb       Fm7    Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch
