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

cheers
