the day since I met her

i can't believe it's true

she came here from memphis

across the ocean

sailing and i saw her and i pleaded

why do you come so far and she said

C#m E

trying to get to you

C#m E

how i tried to get to you

C#m E

trying to get to you

i'm sending a letter

i'll send it right to you

i'll send it to memphis

i know that someday

everything i needed and i wanted

used to be that in my head was haunted

[with Rhythm Figure 1]

and all these sirens they make me mad

and all this violence it brings me down

i feel strong

i feel lucky

trying to get to you

said i'm going to get to you

trying to get to you

[Close:]
