Room 205

              Bm
I'm just four walls with a little 
paint, a picture here or there
        G
I got a Bible in my dresser, just in
 case somebody cares
Bm
I've been here forever, 1959
   G
My name is on the front door, they 
call me 205
    Bm
And man you can't imagine, the 
things that happen here
     G
I've seen my share of laughing and 
I've seen a lot of tears
Bm
Drug deals and last meals and love 
that seemed so real
  G
Until I saw the flash of those 
hundred dollar bills
           A
But let me tell you something crazy,
 that I'd never seen before
            G
Starts with Johnny and Katie, first 
time they walked through my door


Chorus 1:
         Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
        G                    A
After a high school football game
                      Bm
They snuck away, in a beat up 
Chevrolet
          Bm
Yeah they made love for the first 
time
          G                 A
Till that Carolina sun came up
                      G
That's where it all began

At the Conway Motor Inn

           Bm
Well they lit a cigarette, and 
talked about their lives
       G
Said they were getting married, 
after graduation night
  Bm
It all seemed so perfect, but they 
didn't have a clue
G
That one be one of them would be 
right back here with someone new
Bm
Now fast forward four years, and 
that white picket fence
G
It ain't holding out what it should 
be keeping in
A
See, I see Katie on the weekends, 
when Johnny's working nights
G
And the man she's coming here with, 
ain't the man I recognize

Chorus 2:
Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
         G              A
After a high school football game
               Bm
They snuck away, in her lover's 
Escalade

Yeah they made love for the first 
time
         G                A
Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up
                 G
Both livin' in sin
        A        Bm
At the Conway Motor Inn


Bridge:
Bm
Tonight Johnny ain't working, cause 
he's right here with me
       G
With a pistol in his right hand, 
just waitin' on the key
   Bm
To turn in my door, and when they 
both walk in
   G
He lays that hammer down, and that's
 where this story ends


Chorus 3:
Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
         G              A
After a high school football game
          Bm
They snuck away, in a beat up 
Chevrolet

Yeah they made love for the first 
time
     G            A
Till that Carolina sun came up
                  G
That's where it all began

And that's where it all ends
A              Bm
