[Verse 1]
Em                         C
We went to the room and we bolted 
the door,
Dm                            G7
The bass from the jukebox was coming
 through the floor,
C                   Em            
And out through the walls we could
 C              F           C    
 still hear the roar of the 
    F C
trains.
C                Dm         C
Was this all the comfort we got for 
our sins?
Dm                              
No candles, no waiters, no soft 
G7
violins?
C           Dm       C           
A dirty electric convector 
  F        C
plugged into the mains.

[Chorus]
C            G7                C
I had wanted much more for the first
 night with you,

                  F                
But the railway hotel was the best 
        C    G7
I could do.
C            Em                  
I knew the Savoy would have 
      C
suited you well,
                     F         
But the best I could do was the 
 Dm        C    G7
railway hotel.

[Verse 2]
C           Dm           C
Away in the sky were the lights of a
 jet,
Dm                          Em   
Burning in the night like a slow 
      G7
cigarette.
C               G7             C
The lamp in the street threw a 
       F              C     F C
soft silhouette on the wall.
C                 Dm         
And though it was crumbling and 
     C
rundown and dead
Dm                        G7     
A chair and a sink and an old 
    Em
single bed,
C             G7          C     
The love we began and the things
         F         C
 that we said, I recall.

[Chorus]
C             G7               C
I had wanted much more for the first
 night with you,
                  F           Dm  
But the railway hotel was the best
         C    G7
 I couid do.
C            Em                  
I knew the Savoy would have 
      C
suited you well,
                     F         
But the best I couid do was the 
 Dm        C    G7
