[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I wish I had a third floor motel room
G
On the dark side of the moon
  C                                  G
Up there with the satellites in the sky
        D                   C                     G
If you knew anything about her, you'd understand why
 
G
I used to believe in love
G
And all that forever stuff
    C                                      G
But now I'm startin' to think it was one big lie
         D            C                     G
If you knew anything her, you'd understand why
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                                        G
She's a seawall on the coast in stormy weather
 C                             G
She's that C22, go-to jukebox song
 Am                              G
I had small town dreams of us together
  Em               D
But now she's gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I don't dance with 90 proof
G
Or smoke weed like I used to
      C                             G
But right now I sure could use the high
         D                  C                     G
If you knew anything about her, you'd understand why, yeah

[Chorus]
                  C                             G
Yeah she's that seawall on the coast in stormy weather
            C                   G
She's that C22, go-to jukebox song
Am                              G
I had small town dreams of us together
          Em       D
But now she's gone
 
 
[Outro]
G
I wish I had a third floor motel room
G
On the dark side of the moon
     C                              G
Up there with the satellites in the sky
        D                   C                    G
If you knew anything about her, you'd understand why
        D                   C     Cm
If you knew anything about her
         G
You'd understand why
