Verse 1:
 
C                   Am                Em         G
The elevator, in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
C                 Am               Em   G
The man inside is going to a hotel room
C                        Am                    Em          G
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
C                  Am                    Em   G
Decided he better hike it to the second floor
 
Pre-chorus 1:
 
Bm            Em Bm               Em
It's temporary,    this place I'm in
Bm          Em         Bm     Em
I permanently won't do this again
C                                       D
My belongings scattered across the hotel floorrrr...
 
Chorus: No words, (Repeat intro riff)
 
Verse 2:
 
C                     Am                      Em           G
Now then later, I was thinking it over by the snack machine
C          Am                   Em   G
I thought about you and a candy bar
 C                  Am                      Em               G
The Now and Laters, now that I've got, stuck between my teeth
 C                   Am                    Em   G
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year
 
Pre-chorus 2:
 
Bm         Em     Bm            Em
A man gets lonely, for heaven's sake
Bm             Em              Bm   Em
He's wondering only what'd you do today
C                                             D
The world's spinning around into an old, sad song

Verse 3:
 
C                     Am                             Em         G
Well, it's coming down outside like I've never even seen before
C            Am                Em    G
I fell into some kind of sorry state
C                     Am                          Em             G
But looking back now, I think it's time for me to laugh about it
C                 Am                              Em  G
And get my things together and find something to say
 
Pre-chorus 3:
 
Bm           Em    Bm     Em
Well, I feel awful, and I believe
Bm            Em         Bm  Em
That time gets wasted in misery
C                                    D
And darling, I never wanna come back hoommmeeee...
