"Room 8", the invite says,
D A
"Come and surprise your oldest friend."
D G
The door's ajar, what's behind,
D A D
In room 8, room 8, room 8?
D D
Cards are found in boxes there,
D A
Welcome me in to the earthly air.
D G
A baby girl named Jennifer,
D A D
Born here, born here, in room 8.
Solo:

D A D
D D
Lock the car, tremble and shake,
D A
Baby, the call was just a fake.
D G
But there she is, spotted through rain,
D A D
"Jennifer", she calls your name.
D D
On the bed, hip displaced,
D A
Broken nose and a toothless face.
D G
But she's alive, she's awake,
D A D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.

And she whispers,
G F#
We're still working full-time for love--
Bm Bm/A G
Underpaid, overworked, uninsured.
G F#
We'll work gladly with our hands,
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
We'll take off our gloves,
G A
'til it's only love, 'til love remains,
D A D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.
D D
I've never felt this pain before,
D A
Doubled over the motel floor.
D G
The ambulance it pulls away,
D A D
With only tears as my alibi.
G F#
But I'm still workin' full-time for love--
Bm Bm/A G
9 to 5, weekends, and, holidays.
G F#
Don't lay me off with severance pay,
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Work me 'til I'm enslaved,
G A
By your elusive ways, invisible love,
D A D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.
A D
