Motel Lights

Intro: F    C    G   Bb   C    G


G
Little did she know
Em
The ring wouldn?t go
     C              G
With him out to the bar
G         Em
Newlyweds, barely out of bed
             C                         G
And now he?s leaving in another girl?s car
D
She should?ve known
         C
When she took him home
    G
And stole him from another
     D                        C
He?d do the same thing with a wedding ring
    G              Em
And leave it a lover
    C                        D
She thought she could change all of the things
     G               Em
That kept him out at night
         C                 D
But even gold can?t hold a man
             C              D
Who sold his home for motel lights
          F            C                  G
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door
       F                    C               G
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more
         F          C          G
And that vacancy reminds me of what I?ve got in store
         F               C                  D
As these motel lights flicker outside my door
He sells a lie she still wants to buy
But that can?t last for long
Who wants to wait at home all day
For a man who never wants to come home
She can?t keep the faith at home all day
And her mind begins to stray
She starts to think about having a drink
At a little place down the way
She can?t believe she?s about to leave the home
She tried to build
But she gets in a car with a man from the bar
Up to her neck in guilt

Chorus
