[Verse 1]
GAre you gonna call me in the morning?
D'Cause I noticed the look in your eyes
GWhen our hands touched, glancing Bmlike
Boxers fighting fDor championship prizes
GI was just looking for a good Bmtime, I never Dthought I'd Emfind it
GAnd I'll be Bmback on the G9 to 5 grind tomoDrrow
Times is hard and the bills are Gdeep
I can barely make ends meet,Bm I can't take care of you, so
GOh I know we've had a gooBmd ride
DBut there's no pressure to Emfollow through G
[Chorus]
GCos I've never crossed the Docean
I've only F#mstood barefoot on the Gshore
I've never been to Memphis Bmbut I swear I Dwill someday
GAnd if I, if I'm being honest DI've never been in love before
I've just been Emchasing shadowsF#m
GPraying that it waits for me
[Verse 2]
GAnd you're not gonna call me in the morning
DThat's all right, dear, it's no surprise
GPlus I heard you got a Bmgirl back home
DShe must have slipped your Gmind while
We were out Bmhaving a good time
AGnd these things always happen without warning
DIn the morning you will know my name
Always the Bmspark, never the Dflame
[Chorus]
GI've never crossed the Docean
F#mI've only stood barefoot on theG shore
Never been to Memphis Bmbut I swear I Dwill someday
GAnd if I, if I'm being honest DI've never been in love before
I've just been Emchasing shadows F#m
GPraying that it Dwaits
[Bridge]
And EmI Gcan be alone a Dlittle longer if it Gmeans
That Dlove is rising like the dawn to shine on mEme G
I'm running on, Dlife ain't half as long as it seemsEm G
It isn't Dgonna wait for meG
[Chorus]
GI'm gonna cross the ocean and Dswim 'till I lose the shore
GI've never been to Memphis Bmbut I'm on Dmy way
GAnd I'm just being honest, F#mno I've never been in love before
EmBut I've seen its F#mshadGows D
EmYes I've seen its F#mshadGow D
EmOh I've seen its shadows praying that it waits for me
