Eb
Woke up scared in the middle of the night
    Bb
He reached for the bottle and turned on the light
Cm
Looked at the clock this can't be right
Eb
I'm not dreaming 
Eb
Turned on the TV and the radio
Bb
Elvis rocked and Elvis rolled
Cm
While Jesus on his radio show
     Eb
Said pack your bags we're leaving 
Cm                                Eb
There's a line I've crossed some where
Ab                         Cm
I left the best of me back there
                          Eb
Never thought I'd end up  here
Ab                            Cm
Guess all the best things disappear 
Eb
Whiskey is his water and it's made in hell
         Bb
From the bottom of his barrel to the bottom of his well
Cm
Nothing in his room but an empty shell
Eb
And he's not dreaming 
Eb
A drunkard's regrets are a dime a dozen
Bb
A thousand cures and a thousand poisons
Cm
Even Elvis couldn't find one good reason
Eb
To keep believing 
Cm                                Eb
There's a line I've crossed some where
Ab                         Cm
I left the best of me back there
                          Eb
Never thought I'd end up  here
Ab                           Cm        Bb      Cm     
Guess all the best things disappear 

SOLO

Eb
Guess she thought she had nothing to lose
Bb
When she told him he had to choose
Cm
Nice idea but they both knew
Eb
That she'd be leaving 
Eb
Jesus said seek and you shall find
Bb
He doesn't think it's true this time
Cm
Some things you look for you never find
     Eb
Like one good reason 
Cm                                Eb
There's a line I've crossed some where
Ab                         Cm
I left the best of me back there
                          Eb
Never thought I'd end up  here
Ab                           Cm
Guess all the best things disappear 
                          Eb
Never thought I'd end up  here
Ab                           Cm
Guess all the best things disappear
