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
