[Verse 1]
D Em7   Cadd9     G     Cadd9    G
I write mostly on hotel paper
D  Em7    Cadd9       G       Cadd9                G  Em7
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
D   Em7 Cadd9      G          Cadd9        G  Em7
I’d be out of line telling you, “leave her”
   D Em7 Cadd9    G          Cadd9     G  Em7
So I lie lonely surrounded by you  ooh.
   D    Em7       Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G  Em7
By you  (By) ooh (you)  (By you)


[Verse 2]
D  Em7 Cadd9      G         Cadd9    G  Em7
Lately I can’t be happy for no one
D    Em7   Cadd9       G         Cadd9    G  Em7
They think I need some time to myself  ooh 
D Em7    Cadd9       G       Cadd9    G   Em7
I try to smile but I can’t remember
    D Em7    Cadd9           G          Cadd9    G
And I know tomorrow there’ll be nothing else  ooh


[Chorus] (strum each chord four times)
    D    Em7    Cadd9
And I
  G         D    Em7    Cadd9
I wanted to be
G          D Em7 Cadd9     G         D      Em7    Cadd9    G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
    D    Em7    Cadd9
And I
  G         D    Em7    Cadd9
I wanted to see
          G         Bm       F#m      G 
‘Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D   Em7    Cadd9     G           Cadd9         G  Em7
You turned out to be more than I bargained for
    D Em7 Cadd9         G       Cadd9    G  Em7
And I can tell that you need to get away
   D    Em7 Cadd9  G            Cadd9   G        Em7
Forgive me  if I admit that I’d love to love you
D  Em7  Cadd9       G       Cadd9    G
We both realized it way too late  ooh


[Chorus] (strum each chord four times)
    D    Em7    Cadd9
And I
  G         D    Em7    Cadd9
I wanted to be
G          D Em7 Cadd9     G         D      Em7    Cadd9    G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
    D    Em7    Cadd9
And I
  G         D    Em7    Cadd9
I wanted to see
          G         Bm       F#m      G       Cadd9
‘Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing


[Outro]
Am                                             Cadd9
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean
D   Em7   Cadd9   G

D                       Em    G (strum up)
I write mostly on hotel paper
