Airport Hotel by Louis Brennan
Airport Hotel
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
On the bed at the airport hotel
Em
You were curled up like a question mark
C
I buttoned my collar
G
My tie-like noose
D C
As you emptied out the mini bar
G
And I could still taste you on my tongue
Em
Your body hard and young
On the train into town
C D
I mouth the words repeatedly
C D
If you knew just what you mean to me
[Chorus]
G D C
I could be better than this
G D C
Denial on denial 'til no integrity exists
G Em
That silent resignation with the words right on my lips
D C
And the feeling, maybe baby, this is all that there is
G
I could be better than this
[Verse 2]
G
Well, I dream about crashing on the long drive home
Em
Pull over in the lay-by, change the sim card in my phone
C
But there's nothing left to say
G
Just the sound of your voice
D
And you say I'll never leave her
Like as if I had a choice
G
Oh but these words are poisoned arrows
And I am paralysed by fear
Em
And it gets harder every day
Every night that you're not here
C
Well I see them talk behind my back
G
Pretend that I can't hear
D
About the greedy young queen
D7
And the dirty old queer
[Chorus 2]
G D C
I could be better than this
G
The promise of suburbia
D C
The widening abyss
G Em
When I'm laying in the bathtub with the razor to my wrist
D C
And a list of explanations she's gonna give to my kids
G
I could be better than this
[Verse]
G
On the bed at the airport hotel
Em
You were curled up like a question mark
C
I buttoned my collar
G
My tie-like noose
D C
As you emptied out the mini bar
G
And I could still taste you on my tongue
Em
Your body hard and young
On the train into town
C D
I mouth the words repeatedly
C D
If you knew just what you mean to me
G
I could be better than this
