The Gaslight Anthem - Wherefore art thou elvis

I c^Emut my teeth on the^G stone of a^D teenage^Em romance ^{G D} I was the ^Emsalt of the earth, I was^G hard, and the^D last of the ind^Emepen^Gden^Dts And the ^Cbreath from my ^Dchest I was ^Emblowing kerosene My lips and ^Cfingertips were ^Dstone, I wore my ^Emheart on my jeans I sang the ^Cblues like the ^Ddogs left too ^Emlong in the street I still ^Csing the ^Dblues with the ^Emdogs

And I got ^Ghalf a mind to ^Dlet it all burn ^Emup in this fire That's been ^Gburning through my ^Dveins since I ^Emfirst learned to cry I'd watch this ^Gwhole night come ^Ddown and never ^Emmiss her again I never ^Cfelt right and never fit ^Din

Now I got ^Emscars like the number of^G stars, my^D mind's full of^Em vipers ^{G D} I got the ^Emdust of the desert in my^G bones,^D coming through the ampl^Emifier^Gs ^D Between the ^Cminor chord ^Dfall and the ^Emfourth and the fifth It's a ^Cbroken Halle^Dlujah and a ^Empain in my fist I wash my ^Chands like the ^Dman with the ^Emblood on his teeth Over and ^Cover ^Dwithout ^Emrelief

And I got ^Gnothing for you ^Ddarling but a ^Emstory to tell About the ^Grain on the ^Dpavement and the ^Emsound as it fell I'd watch this ^Gwhole night come ^Ddown and never ^Emmiss her again I never ^Cfelt right and never fit ^Din Walking in my ^Gold man ^Dshoes, with my ^Emscientist heart I got a ^Gfever and a ^Dbeaker and a ^Emshot in the dark I need a ^GCadillac ^Dride, I need a ^Emsoft summer night Say a ^Cprayer for my soul, Señ^Dorita

Because I've bee^Emn dying o^Dut here in t^Che cold and the snow I've got a ^Empicture of you,^D Mama, to re^Cmind me of home On the ^Emhood of a^D Dodge on a^C Saturday night Say a ^Cprayer for my soul, Seño^Drita
