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
