[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
ArGe you gonna call me in the moDrning?
'Cause I noAticed the look in your Bmeyes
When our haGnds touched, glancing like
BoAxers fighting for championship prBmizes
I was just loGoking for a gooDd time, I never thoAught I'd fiBmnd it
[Verse 2]
And I'Gll be back on the 9 to 5 grind tomDorrow
Times is hAard and the bills are dBmue
I can baGrely make ends meDet, I can't take caAre of you, so
Oh I kGnow we've had a goDod ride
But there's no preAssure to follow thBmrough A
[Chorus]
SoGme never cross the ocean
I've onDly stood barefoAot on the shoBmre
I've never beeGn to Memphis but I swear I wiAll someday
And if I,G if I'm being honDest I've nevAer been in love befBmore
I've just been chasing shadows
PrayAing that it waits for me D
[Verse 3]
And yoGu're not gonna call me in the morDning
That's all riAght, dear, it's no surBmprise
Plus I heaGrd you got a girl back home
She must have sliApped your mind while
We were oGut having a good tiDme
And thGese things always hapDpen without warning
In the mornAing you will know my nBmame
Always the spark, never the flAame
[Chorus]
SoGme never cross the ocean
I've onDly stood barefoAot on the shoBmre
I've never beeGn to Memphis but I swear I wiAll someday
And if I,G if I'm being honDest I've nevAer been in love befBmore
I've just been chasing shadows
PrayAing that it waits. . .
[Bridge]
And BmI can be alDone a little loAnger if it mBmeans
That love is riDsing like the dAawn to shine on mBme
I'm running Don, life ain't half as lAong as it seGems
It isn't gonna wAait for meG
[Chorus]
I'm gonna crGoss the ocean and swDim 'till I loAse the shBmore
I've never been to MeGmphis but I'm on my wAay
And I'm just being hDonest, but I've neAver been in love beBmfore
And I've sGeen its shadows
Yes I've seGen its shadBmow
Oh I've sGeen its shadows praying that it waAits for meD
