F C Am Bb F
I'd invite you back to my place
C Am Bb F
It's only mine because it holds my suitcase

It looks like home to me alright
C Am Bb F
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
F C Dm F
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Is it me, the man with the stranger's face

Is it me, the man with the stranger's face

Another key for my collection

Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well

The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase

Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
