This is a slightly simplified version, on the record there is a fast C#m and Bm 
between the D and A 
but this way is a bit easier to play and sing at the same time.



A              Bm              C#m               Bm
 When you were satisfying your thirst for success
                D
 And you looked older than I did
A         Bm                  C#m              Bm
 I didn't think that that was you at your best
         D                   A
 We were only lonely little kids
        Bm                   C#m                Bm
 Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes
D
 We were little kids
     A             Bm        C#m           Bm
 And you could say sorry ten billion times
     D                         A
 But sorry didn't do what you did
           Bm                C#m               Bm
 I threw myself at you and I threw myself away
        D                                        A
 Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

Bm           C#m    Bm      D                A
 Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things 
        Bm               C#m     Bm
 Lovely things, to lovely other people
     D
 And I'm not invited.


     E               A            D
 But I love the back garden at my parents' place
     E          A              D 
 And I love the view out of my Glasgow window
     E      A                D 
 And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,
     E              A           D          
 And you don't know any of these things. 


          A                Bm               C#m                Bm
 And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing
       D                                   A             Bm
 And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did
     C#m   Bm                 D           
 Somehow I found out and I was disappointed
     A            Bm               C#m        Bm   
 But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes
       D                                A              Bm
 And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets
             C#m    Bm              D 
 Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train
                     A                   Bm              C#m       Bm
 And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you
             D                                            A             
 And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes 
 Bm                     C#m              Bm
 Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you      
            D                                           A
 Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
Bm        C#m
 'cause I adore you
 Bm      D                                          A
 I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
 Bm          C#m    Bm      D
 Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say


 E    A        D
 It's not like Elvis 
 E    A        D
 It's not like Elvis 
 E    A        D
 It's not like Elvis 
 E    A        D
 It's not like Elvis 
                               A     Bm C#m Bm D
