Liz Longley – Memphis chords

  [Intro]
A E


[Verse 1]
 A             E AThe TVs on again
                            E AYou're watching the weatherman
                                 DI know you're thinking about leaving
                      EWhen the skies are clear
   A                       E AI wouldn't stand in your way
    A                         E AI wouldn't try to make you stay
   A                        EI'd watch you get in your car
                          D        EI know you wouldn't get far from here


[Chorus 1]
                            AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
                           EYou wouldn't make it half way
                DYou take that lonely road
                       F#m  EAnd you realize your mistakes
                           AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
                    C#m Oh no, you'd come around
     F#m                             EYou think of all the things that you could have done
    DWonder what it was you were running from
     EAnd all you'd miss
                          AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis


[Verse 2]
    A                    E AWhen I fell in love with you
  A                                     E AThere was nothing we couldn't get through
              E                    DWe had our doubts, we talked them out
          E'Til the sun went down
 A                       E AAnd now I sit here at home
 A                     E AWaiting on the telephone
  A                  E AThe skies aren't clear and you're not here
  D              ESo I just keep telling myself


[Chorus 1]
                           AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
                          EYou wouldn't make it half way
                 DYou take that lonely road
                     F#m  EAnd you realize your mistakes
                            AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
                    C#mOh no, you'd come around
      F#m                            EYou think of all the things that you could have done
    DWonder what it was you were running from
   EAnd all you'd miss
                            AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis


[Bridge]
                F#m       E    DMaybe you'll change your mind
          F#m         E  BmMaybe you just need time
               D        EStill I can't help but cry


[Chorus 2]
                            AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
                            EYou wouldn't make it half way
             DTake that lonely road
                           F#m           EAnd you realize this was all one big mistake
                      AYou ain't going to Memphis
                     C#mI knew you'd come around
        F#m                          EIf we never had a chance, could you live with that?
         F#m                          EBetter breath it all in when you're looking back
EJust think of all the things that you could have done
EWonder what it was you were running from
      EAnd all you'd miss
                           AYou wouldn't make it to Memphis
