[intro] F C C G C
[verse]
C
You're a little long in the tooth, babe
F C
Me, I'm puffy and under the weather
C C/B Am
But the drunker I get, that band gets tighter,
D7 G
and honey, you're lookin' better
C
So here's to dim lights in dingy bars,
F
to the alcohol haze and the smoke
C C/B Am
and the chance to reinvent ourselves
D7 G C
Hey baby, let's go for broke
[chorus]
F C G C
And pretend I'm Elvis for just one night
F C D7 G
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright
F C E Am
Hey don't we look sorta like em' in the neon light?
D Dm G F C
Let's pretend I'm Elvis, darlin', for just one night
[verse]
C
Now it's one a.m and we follow the band
F C
down a dead and lonely street
C C/B Am
Here's a song about our destiny,
D7 G
how we were meant to meet
C
So drink up honey and wrap me
F
in good looks, fortune and fame
C C/B Am
I don't need to know who you really are
D7 G C
You don't need to know my name
[chorus]
F C G C
And pretend I'm Elvis for just one night
F C D7 G
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright
F C E Am
Hey don't we look sorta like em' in the neon light?
D Dm G F C
Let's pretend I'm Elvis, darlin', for just one night
[bridge]
Am C
Two more drinks and that cab outside will become a limo
Am Em
You and me we gotta hang on tight to this fragile spell
Dm Am
But girl, it ain't easy and I get queasy as hell
Dm
lookin' at a map where every road leads back
G G7
to my room at the Heartbreak Hotel
[verse}
C
We all need God's redemption, honey
F C
Tonight Graceland is a bar
C C/B Am
And even if I don't sing too good,
D7 G
or play the guitar
C
I think I could love you tender,
F
treat you like a queen,
C C/B Am
We can work a little magic
D7 G C
If you'll imagine I'm the King
[chorus]
F C G C
And pretend I'm Elvis for just one night
F C D7 G
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright
F C E Am
Hey don't we look sorta like em' in the neon light?
D Dm G F C
Let's pretend I'm Elvis, darlin', for just one night
