these are the chords in standard tuning. great song.

                  a
So the ambulances came
                dm                         g
They took your pulse and packed up your things
                a
And the papers read
            c                        g
Some boys forget what the heart it brings
                          a
And the pounding in the street
           dm                c
Was your heart in four four time
                   a
And the taste of defeat
         c         g              f       g
Was was never too far from your mind
     am              f                c               g
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
          am          f                    c        g
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
          am                       f
And in my head there's all these classic cars
     c              g
And outlaw cowboy bands
          am          f                c    g
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
            a
So gravity came
                dm                         g
And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised
                      a
And the crowd shuffled in
                 c
You're getting drinks for the same boys
       g                   a
Who once bought you everything

And the patter on the bar
 dm             g
Was just this one time
                   a
The patter on the bar
               c
Was just this one night
g             f    g
Only to get by

 am              f                c               g
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
          am          f                    c        g
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
          am                       f
And in my head there's all these classic cars
     c              g
And outlaw cowboy bands
          am          f                c    g
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
