VERSE 1
********
F#m          D          F#m      D
You told the man in the Broadway Hotel
E           D             C#m   D
Nothing was stranger than being yourself
F#m        D           F#m         D       Bm
And he replied, with a tear in his eye
E          D
Love was a rollaway
E      D        
Just a cajole away
E         D
Mist on a summer's day
C#m         D
Nothing was clear
E          D
Love was a smile away
E      D
Just a defile away
E           D
I sought it every way
C#m         D
No-one came near.

VERSE 2
********
F#m           D         F#m         D
You asked the man for a room with a view
E           D          C#m           D
Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe
F#m         D         F#m          D       Bm
Then he replied as he gave you the key
E          D
Love was a rollaway
E          D
Just an unfold away
E          D
That's all there is to say
C#m         D
No-one came near.

CHORUS
*******
A             G
Alone in your room you hide
       F#m
as the night rolls by
       E
In the street outside
        A             G
And you feel over the words he said
          F#m              E                  C#m
Till they turn to rain all around your head.

CHORUS
*******
       A         G
You're seeking a hideaway
          F#m
Where the light of day
        E
Doesn't touch your face
      A                   G
And a door-sign keeps the world away
F#m
Behind the shades
        E            C#m
Of your silent day.

VERSE 3
********
F#m           D           F#m      D
You made your home in the Broadway Hotel
E            D           C#m       D
Room service came at the push of a bell
F#m         D          F#m          D       ?
And the man said as he put down the tray
E          D
Love was a stealaway
E      D        
Just a reveal away
E          D
I tried to find a way
C#m         D
Nothing was clear
E          D 
Then as he turned away
E             D
You asked the man to stay
E            D
He was there all the day
C#m         D
No-one came near.
