Verse 1:
 
D  Em7  C6        G     C6       G
I write mostly on hotel paper
 
D    Em7  C6                   G     C6                G
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
 
D   Em7 C6          G            C6               G
I’d be out of line telling you, “leave her”
 
   D  Em7  C6         G       C6             G
So I lie lonely surrounded by you      
 
    D   Em7   C6    G     C6    G
By you
 
Verse 2:
 
Lately I can’t be happy for no one
They think I need some time to myself
I try to smile but I can’t remember
And I know tomorrow they’ll be nothing else
 
 
Chorus:
    D   Em7  C6
And I    
 G          D   Em7   C6
wanted to be
 
  G         D  Em7  C6                D      Em7   C6     G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
 
    D  Em7  C6
And I 
 G         D   Em7  C6
wanted to see
 
         G         Bm       F#m       G
Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing
 
 
 
Verse 3
 
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
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean
 
D   Em7  C6        G     C6
I write mostly on hotel paper
