**I think the book uses the simple G form instead of [320033] because it sounds
better (and not for beginners), because it uses [320033] in other songs.
Intro:
D -- D G(9) C G(9) D G(9) C G(9)
Verse 1 & 2:
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
I write mostly on hotel paper
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
I'd be out of line telling you, "leave her"
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
So I lie lonely surrounded by you
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
...by you, oh
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
Lately, I can't be happy for no one
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
They think I need time to myself
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
I'd try to smile but I can't remember
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G (9 fr.) Em9
I know tomorrow there'll be nothing else, oh
Chorus:
D Em7 C G D Em7 C
And I, I wanted to be
G D Em7 C G D Em7 C G
giving you e-very-thing that she's not giving
D Em7 C G D Em7 C
And I, I wanted to see
G Bm7 F#m7 G (9 fr.)
'cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearin'
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) D G (9 fr.) C G (9 fr.)
-Verse 3- (just like verse 2)
You turned out to be more than I bargained for,
And I can tell that you need to get away.
Forgive me if I admit that I'd love to love you;
We both realized it way too late
Chorus:
D Em7 C G D Em7 C
And I, I wanted to be
G D Em7 C G D Em7 C G
giving you e-very-thing that she's not giving
D Em C G D Em7 C
And I, I wanted to see
G Bm7 F#m7 G (9 fr.)
'cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearin'
C/G G

Maybe this wind blowin' in just came from the ocean.
D G (9 fr.) C G(9) D G (9 fr.) C G (9 fr.)
