[Verse 1]
C     Cadd9          Am   A4
There's a place on a blank stretch 
of road where
F                         G
Nobody travels and nobody goes and 
the
C   Cadd9          Am   A4
Deskman says these days 'round here
      F                            
Where two young folks could 
             G
probably up and disappear into
F                         C
Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner 
room
Am         G       F
  Into the musty smell
   C   Cadd9               Am    
Of wilted flowers and lazy afternoon
A4
 hours
       F      G      C Cadd9 Am 
At the Moonlight Motel
A4 F G



[Verse 2]
        C      Cadd9             
Now the pool's filled with empty,
Am    A4
 eight foot deep
Continúa después del anuncio
    F                            
Got dandelions growin' up through 
                   G
the cracks in the concrete
C    Cadd9            Am  A4
Chain-link fence half-rusted away
       F                       
Got a sign, says, "Children, be 
                 G
careful how you play"
F                           C
Your lipstick taste and your 
whispered secret
 Am       G          F
I promised I'd never tell
  C   Cadd9                Am    
A half-drunk beer and your breath in
A4
 my ear
       F      G      C Cadd9 Am 
At the Moonlight Motel
A4 F G


[Chorus]
          F                       
Well then, it's bills and kids and 
C
kids and bills
       Am       G      F
And the ringing of the bell
           C    Cadd9             
Across the valley floor through 
  Am   A4
the dusty screen door
       F      G      C Cadd9 Am 
Of the Moonlight Motel
A4 F G


[Verse 3]
C   Cadd9                  Am  
Last night I dreamed of you, my 
A4
lover
        F                          
And the wind blew through the 
                  G
window and blew off the covers
      C    Cadd9          
Of my lonely bed, I woke to 
  Am     A4
something you said
         F                     
That it's better to have loved, 
                           G
yeah, it's better to have loved
     F                  C
As I drove, there was a chill in the
 breeze
          Am                G     
And leaves tumbled from the sky 
    F
and fell
     C  Cadd9         Am   A4
On a road so black as I backtracked
       F       G     C Cadd9 Am A4
To the Moonlight Motel

[Chorus]
       F                           
She was boarded up and gone like an
 C
 old summer song
Am             G     F
Nothing but an empty shell
  C    Cadd9                 Am   
I pulled in and stopped into my 
A4      F G C Cadd9
old spot

[Otro]
           F                       
I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a 
C
paper bag
               Am             G   
Poured one for me and one for you 
   F
as well
            C  Cadd9              
Then it was one more shot poured 
            Am      A4
out onto the parking lot
       F       G     C Cadd9 Am 
To the Moonlight Motel
A4 F G C
