Intro: Ab Eb/G Ab/F Eb/G x2
Ab Eb/G
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
Fm7 C#
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
Ab Eb/G
So she names the baby Elvis
Fm7 C#
To make up for the royalty he lacked
Ab Eb/G
And from then on it was turpentine and patches
Fm7 C#
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
Ab Eb/G
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Fm7 C#
Cause that's all they knew how to play
Ab Eb/G Ab/F Eb/G x2
Ab Eb/G
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
Fm7 C#
And she knew they were destined to become
Ab
Sacred road kill on the way
Fm Eb/G
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
C# Ab
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes
Eb/G
Cause it's been turpentine and patches
Fm7 C#
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
Ab Eb/G
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Fm7 C# F#

Ab Eb/G Ab/F Eb/G x2
Ab Eb/G
Elvis never could carry a tune
Fm7 C#
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
Ab Eb/G Fm7
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
C#
Saying why don't I begin again
Ab Eb/G
With turpentine and patches
Fm7 C#
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
Ab Eb/G
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
Fm7 C#
It's just that he's not around to play along
Ab Eb/G
I'm still an asshole playing with candles
Fm7 C#
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Ab Eb/G
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
Fm7 C# F#
What's written in Braille upon my skin...

version 3
This song was originally meant for piano so I adjusted the key and some of the notes to
fit on a guitar. It sounds pretty close to the piano part but skips the interludes. I
just throw some of the notes from the intro in where the interludes should be so there
is adequate space between the verses.

"She was lying on the floor..."
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
she hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
so she names the baby Elvis
to make up for the royalty he lacked
And from then on it was turpentine and patches
from then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
And she knew they were destined to become
sacred road kill on the way
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes
Cause it's been turpentine and patches
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play
Elvis never could carry a tune
she thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
she was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
saying why don't I begin again
with turpentine and patches
with cold, cold Campbell's from the can
after all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
it's just that he's not around to play along
I'm still an ass hole playing with candles
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
what's written in Braille upon my skin...
