Intro: [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [C]
When they [G]dressed me and they
[D]put me on a plane to [C]Memphis, well
I [G]never got to see [D] [C]Elvis
I just [G]sweated it out in a [D]hotel room
But I [C]think the king woulda understood
Why I [G]never made [D]it to [C]Graceland
The bathroom [G]tiles were [D]cool against my [C]hand
I pressed my [G]forehead to the
[D]floor and [C]prayed for a trapdoor
I've [G]been here many [D]times before
But [C]I've never made it to [G] [D] [C]Graceland
And if I make it to the [G] [D] [C]mornin'
I shoulda come with a [G] [D] [C]warnin'
And if I make it to the [G]stage
I'll [D]show you what it [C]means
To be [G] [D] [C]saved
Well, pick me [G]up in New [D]Orleans
Pinned [C]in a bathroom stall
Pick me [G]up above my [D]body
Press my [C]corpse against the wall
I told the [G]band to leave without me
[D]I'll [C]get the next flight
And I'll [G]see you all with [D]Elvis
If I [C]don't survive the night
If I make it to the [G] [D] [C]mornin'
I shoulda come with a [G] [D] [C]warnin'
And if I make it to the [G]stage
I'll [D]show you what it [C]means
To be [G] [D] [C]saved
And after [Am]every tour, I swear I'll [G]quit
It's [D]over, boys, now this is [C]it
[Am]But the call, it always comes
And the [G]songs, like [D]children, [C]beggin' to be [Am]born
But, oh, I guess I [G]got my [D]wish
But [C]anything, [G]anything, [D]anything but [C]this
If I make it to the [G] [D] [C]mornin'
I shoulda come with a [G] [D] [C]warnin'
And if I make it to the [G]stage
I'll [D]show you what it [C]means
To be [G] [D] [C]saved
Oh, you know I'm still [G] [D] [C]afraid
I'm still crazy and I'm still [G] [D] [C]scared
But if I [G]make it to the [D]stage
I'll [C]show you what it means
To be [G] [D] [C]spared
To be [G] [D] [C]spared
To be [G] [D] [C]spared
To be [G] [D] [C]spared
To be [G]spared
