[Intro]
Em D G C
 
[Verse 1]
G                          C        G
   Takes so much to be marvelled
                 D
In this day and age
        G               C         Em
Every road has been followed
                      D     Dsus2      G
Every mistake's been made
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But there's a lot to be desired
C
And I find myself inside
G
Memories still alive
D                     G
Just behind my eyes
G                    C
Seems the more I go, leaving home, looking for
Em                                D
What I need's been buried in my soul
 
[Chorus]
                         C                      G
'Cause I never heard a song sung quite like Elvis
                    C                     G
Not much beats the sound of the pouring rain
                                 C
And there's something in your kiss
                    Em
Leaves me so helpless
                    D   Dsus2    D
You leave me breathless
                    Em   D  G  C
You leave me breathless
 
[Verse 2]
G
So there's this voice inside
C
Terrified, plagued with pride
G                              D     G
Resonating sounding like my own
G                        C
Then piece by piece so suddenly, no subtleties
Em                                     D
Your beauty, it can bring me to my knees
 
[Chorus]
                       C                      G
'Cause I never heard a song sung quite like Elvis
                     C                    G
Not much beats the sound of the pouring rain
                                C
And there's something in your kiss
                   Em
Leaves me so helpless
                   D    Dsus2   D
You leave me breathless
                   Em    D  G  C   G
You leave me breathless
 
[Bridge]
                D                 Em  C    G
I'm always wishing on the times we had, wishin'
                D          Em   C   G
Wishin' I could get you back
                D                Em  C    G
I'm always wishing on the times we had
                D          Em   C   G
Wishin' I could get you back
 
[Outro]
                        C                    G
Cause I never heard a song sung quite like Elvis
                     C                     G
Not much beats the sound of the pouring rain
                                C
And there's something in your kiss
                  Em
Leaves me so helpless
              D
And I can't help but see you again
                     C                  G
I can never see the sunrise too many times
                 C                      G
Fall asleep with you under the northern lights
                                 C
And there's something in your touch
 
                  Em
Leaves me so helpless
                  D     Dsus2 D
You leave me breathless
                  Em     D  G  C
You leave me breathless

I've been fiddling around since I did this - I think the song sounds better with C/G in the Chorus and Cadd9 in the verse. Let me know what you think. L

Great song. For the intro and the little lick after the chorus I think it should be Em, D, G, C.
