Verse 1
          G                   D                    C
When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well
  G                D     C
I never got to see Elvis
       G                   D
I just sweated it out in a hotel room
      C
But I think the king woulda understood
     G           D     C
Why I never made it to Graceland
             G          D               C
The bathroom tiles were cool against my hand
             G               D         C
I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor
     G              D
I've been here many times before
    C                     G        D      C
But I've never made it to Graceland


Chorus
                        G      D      C
And if I make it to the mornin'
                      G      D      C
I shoulda come with a warnin'
                         G
And if I make it to the stage
     D                C
I'll show you what it means
      G      D      C
To be saved


Verse 2
              G           D
Well, pick me up in New Orleans
       C
Pinned in a bathroom stall
        G           D
Pick me up above my body
         C
Press my corpse against the wall
           G
I told the band to leave without me
D    C
I'll get the next flight
         G                D
And I'll see you all with Elvis
     C
If I don't survive the night


Chorus
                    G      D      C
If I make it to the mornin'
                      G      D      C
I shoulda come with a warnin'
                         G
And if I make it to the stage
     D                C
I'll show you what it means
      G      D      C
To be saved


Bridge
          Am                       G
And after every tour, I swear I'll quit
     D                         C
It's over, boys, now this is it
Am
But the call, it always comes
        G           D         C             Am
And the songs, like children, beggin' to be born
                   G      D
But, oh, I guess I got my wish
    C         G            D         C
But anything, anything, anything but this


Chorus
                    G      D      C
If I make it to the mornin'
                      G      D      C
I shoulda come with a warnin'
                         G
And if I make it to the stage
     D                C
I'll show you what it means
      G       D      C
To be saved
                        G     D      C
Oh, you know I'm still afraid
                              G      D      C
I'm still crazy and I'm still scared
         G               D
But if I make it to the stage
     C
I'll show you what it means
       G      D      C
To be spared


Outro
       G      D      C
To be spared
       G      D      C
To be spared
       G      D      C
To be spared
       G
To be spared
