Intro:  Em  G  Cmaj7  D  x2

Em                       G                  Cmaj7      D
     Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
Em                  G                     Cmaj7      D
     Sound of their breath fades with the light.
Em            G        Cmaj7         D
     I think about the loveless fascination,
Em             G           Cmaj7      D
     Under the milky way tonight.

Em             G               Cmaj7        D
     Lower the curtain down in Memphis,
Em             G                Cmaj7      D
     Lower the curtain down all right.
Em            G        Cmaj7         D
     I got no time for private consultation,
Em             G           Cmaj7      D
     Under the milky way tonight.

     D                              Em
          Wish I knew what you were looking for.
     D                                    Cmaj7
          Might have known what you would find.

Em            G                 Cmaj7       D
     And it's something quite peculiar,
Em             G              Cmaj7      D
     Something shimmering and white.
Em                G      Cmaj7           D
     It leads you here despite your destination,
Em             G           Cmaj7      D
     Under the milky way tonight.

     D                              Em
          Wish I knew what you were looking for.
     D                                    Cmaj7
          Might have known what you would find.
     D                              Em
          Wish I knew what you were looking for.
     D                                    Cmaj7
          Might have known what you would find.
