Memphis

A E


[Verse 1]
 A             E A
The TVs on again
                            E A
You're watching the weatherman
                                 D
I know you're thinking about leaving
                      E
When the skies are clear
   A                       E A
I wouldn't stand in your way
    A                         E A
I wouldn't try to make you stay
   A                        E
I'd watch you get in your car
                          D        E
I know you wouldn't get far from here


[Chorus 1]
                            A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
                           E
You wouldn't make it half way
                D
You take that lonely road
                       F#m  E
And you realize your mistakes
                           A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
                    C#m
Oh no, you'd come around
     F#m                             E
You think of all the things that you could have done
    D
Wonder what it was you were running from
     E
And all you'd miss
                          A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis


[Verse 2]
    A                    E A
When I fell in love with you
  A                                     E A
There was nothing we couldn't get through
              E                    D
We had our doubts, we talked them out
          E
'Til the sun went down
 A                       E A
And now I sit here at home
 A                     E A
Waiting on the telephone
  A                  E A
The skies aren't clear and you're not here
  D              E
So I just keep telling myself


[Chorus 1]
                           A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
                          E
You wouldn't make it half way
                 D
You take that lonely road
                     F#m  E
And you realize your mistakes
                            A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
                    C#m
Oh no, you'd come around
      F#m                            E
You think of all the things that you could have done
    D
Wonder what it was you were running from
   E
And all you'd miss
                            A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis


[Bridge]
                F#m       E    D
Maybe you'll change your mind
          F#m         E  Bm
Maybe you just need time
               D        E
Still I can't help but cry


[Chorus 2]
                            A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
                            E
You wouldn't make it half way
             D
Take that lonely road
                           F#m           E
And you realize this was all one big mistake
                      A
You ain't going to Memphis
                     C#m
I knew you'd come around
        F#m                          E
If we never had a chance, could you live with that?
         F#m                          E
Better breath it all in when you're looking back
E
Just think of all the things that you could have done
E
Wonder what it was you were running from
      E
And all you'd miss
                           A
You wouldn't make it to Memphis
