then
E A D A  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
E A     D         A     D    A F#m
I write mostly on hotel paper
E  A/C#      D          A
Knowing that my thoughts will
D                    A F#m
never leave this room
 
 
[Verse 2]
E   A  D
I'd be out of line
A          D
telling you leave
   A F#m   E A   D
her     So I lie lonely
   A          D     A
surrounded by you oh
 
 
[Chorus 1]
   E  A  D A D A F#m
By you oh
 
 
[Verse 3]
E   A  D
Lately I can't be
A         D     A F#m
happy for no one
E    A     D
They think I need
     A         D      A F#m
some time to myself oh
 
 
[Verse 4]
E A/C#    D
I try to smile but
  A       D     A F#m
I can't remember
E A      D
I know tomorrow
         A          D      A F#m
there'll be nothing else oh
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    E F#m D
And I
  A         E F#m D
I wanted to be
A          E   F#m D
Giving you every---thing
     A         E     F#m D A
that she's not giving
    E F#m D
And I
  A         E  F#m D
I wanted to see
        A        C#m
Cause I didn't believe
     G#m      A      D
what I'd been hearing
 
 
[Instrumental]
E A D A  x2
 
 
[Verse 5]
E   A      D         A
You turned out to be more
       D            A F#m
than I bargained for
    E A   D
And I can tell that
    A       D       A F#m
you need to get away
 
 
[Verse 6]
   E    A  D      A
Forgive me if I admit
         D       A
that I'd love to love
   F#m E  A    D
you    We both realized
   A       D      A F#m
it way too late oh
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    E F#m D
And I
  A         E F#m D
I wanted to be
A          E   F#m D
Giving you every---thing
     A         E     F#m D A
that she's not giving
    E F#m D
And I
  A         E  F#m D
I wanted to see
        A        C#m
Cause I didn't believe
     G#m      A      D
what I'd been hearing
