G
Sunday night, it's supper time
Em
The hotel's full and all is fine
C
You can see that neon no vacancy sign
D
From the window of room 39
G
Monday morning at half past eight
Em
Everbody's gone they've left no trace
C
I sit alone as the day grows late
D
Wait to see your friendly face
G
Why you chose my hotel
Em
I'm not real qualified to tell
C
It's just your face I remember well
D
When you asked if I had a room to sell
G
Well, maybe you liked just what you saw
Em
The cable tv and the indoor spa
C
Or maybe it was the low low price
D G
27 bucks a night.
G...
Em G*
They say the highway is for lovers
Em C G*
But he ain't no friend of mine
Em
Coz every time I find my heart
C D D*
I lose it to that long yellow line
G
You checked in I checked you out
Em
You smiled from the corners of your mouth
C
I turned on the no vacancy sign
D
As you checked in to room 39
G
I saw the light from your tv
Em
You were watching channel 23
C
The night was long, the dark was deep
D
I kind of cried myself to sleep
chorus
G
Morning broke itself at last
Em
You got your continental breakfast
C
Dropped off the key and said goodbye
D
I think i thought I head you sigh
G
I caught a glimpse of your license plate
Em
As you were drifting down the interstate
C
It said you were from delaware
D
I said oh it must be gorgeous there
chorus
repeat last line of chorus, end on G
