I write mostly on hotel paper
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I’d be out of line telling you, “leave herâ€
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So I lie lonely surrounded by you
D Em7 Cadd9 G
By you ooh
Verse 2
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Lately I can’t be happy for no one
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
They think I need some time to myself
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I try to smile but I can’t remember
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And I know tomorrow there’ll be nothing else
Chorus (strum each chord four times)
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
Wanted to be
G D Em7 G D Em7 Cadd9 G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
Wanted to see
G Bm F#m G
‘Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing
Verse 3
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You turned out to be more than I bargained for
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And I can tell that you need to get away
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Forgive me if I admit that I’d love to love you
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
We both realized it way too late
Chorus
D D
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean
