[Fm] [Eb]
what this thing called love
could do to you
[Ab}
but since you been gone
[Gm] [Fm}
and I've been on my own
[Eb]
I've been feeling quite peculiar
[Ab] [Gm} [Fm] [Eb]
but I'll get by without your smile
[Ab] [Gm] [Fm][Eb]
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
and Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
Oh
Since you been gone
I can do what I like
but it doesn't mean a lot to me
I'm all shook up
and I'm lonesome tonight
I think I need a lot of lobotomy
but I'll get by without your smile
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no / You
Me
Maybe we were never meant to be

Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead

And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
