  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
