[Eb]Woke up scared in the middle of the night
He r[Bb]eached 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
Said [Eb]pack your bags we're leaving
[Cm]There's a line I've crossed some w[Eb]here
[Ab]I left the best of me back [Cm]there
Never thought I'd end up [Eb]here
[Ab]Guess all the best things disa[Cm]ppear
[Eb]Whiskey is his water and it's made in hell
From the [Bb]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]There's a line I've crossed some w[Eb]here
[Ab]I left the best of me back [Cm]there
Never thought I'd end up [Eb]here
[Ab]Guess all the best things dis[Cm]appear [Bb][Cm]
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
Like [Eb]one good reason
[Cm]There's a line I've crossed some w[Eb]here
[Ab]I left the best of me back [Cm]there
Never thought I'd end up [Eb]here
[Ab]Guess all the best things dis[Cm]appear
Never thought I'd end up [Eb]here
[Ab]Guess all the best things dis[Cm]appear
