Moonlight Motel

D Bm G A


[Verse 1]

D                    Bm
There's a place on a blank stretch 
of road where
G                         A
Nobody travels and nobody goes and 
the
D                  Bm
Deskman says these days 'round here
      G                            
Where two young folks could 
             A
probably up and disappear into
G                         D
Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner 
room
Bm       Bm/A   G
Into the musty smell
   D                       Bm
Of wilted flowers and lazy afternoon
 hours
       G   A       D  Bm G A
At the Moonlight Motel


[Verse 2]

        D                         
Now the pool's filled with empty, 
Bm
eight foot deep
    G                            
Got dandelions growin' up through 
                   A
the cracks in the concrete
D                     Bm
Chain-link fence half-rusted away
      G                        
Got a sign, says, "Children, be 
                 A
careful how you play"

Your lipstick taste and your 
  D
whispered secret
  Bm       Bm/A      G
I promised I'd never tell
  D                        Bm
A half-drunk beer and your breath in
 my ear
       G   A       D  Bm G A
At the Moonlight Motel


[Chorus]

                G                  
Well then, it's bills and kids and 
D/F#
kids and bills
        Bm      Bm/A   G
And the ringing of the bell
           D                       
Across the valley floor through the
 Bm
 dusty screen door
       G   A       D  Bm G A
Of the Moonlight Motel


[Verse 3]

D                       Bm
Last night I dreamed of you, my 
lover
        G                          
And the wind blew through the 
                   A
window and blew off the covers
      D                    
Of my lonely bed, I woke to 
 Bm
something you said
          G                    
That it's better to have loved, 
                           A
yeah, it's better to have loved
G                       D
As I drove, there was a chill in the
 breeze
           Bm               Bm/A  
And leaves tumbled from the sky 
  G
and fell
     D                Bm
On a road so black as I backtracked
       G   A       D  Bm
To the Moonlight Motel
        G                          
She was boarded up and gone like an
 D
 old summer song
Bm             Bm/A  G
Nothing but an empty shell
  D                          Bm
I pulled in and stopped into my old 
spot


[Instrumental]

G A Bm


[Chorus]

           G                       
I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a 
D
paper bag
               Bm             Bm/A
Poured one for me and one for you 
   G
as well
            D                      
Then it was one more shot poured 
           Bm
out onto the parking lot
       G   A       D  Bm G A D
To the Moonlight Motel
