Verse 1:

D  Em7  C6        G     C6       G
I write mostly on hotel paper

D    Em7  C6                   G     C6                G
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room

D   Em7 C6          G            C6               G
I’d be out of line telling you, “leave her”

   D  Em7  C6         G       C6             G
So I lie lonely surrounded by you      

    D   Em7   C6    G     C6    G
By you

Verse 2:

Lately I can’t be happy for no one
They think I need some time to myself
I try to smile but I can’t remember
And I know tomorrow they’ll be nothing else


Chorus:
    D   Em7  C6     
And I    
 G          D   Em7   C6   
wanted to be

  G         D  Em7  C6                D      Em7   C6     G   
Giving you everything that she’s not giving

    D  Em7  C6
And I 
 G         D   Em7  C6  
wanted to see

         G         Bm       F#m       G
Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing



Verse 3

You turned out to be more than I bargained for
And I can tell that you need to get away
Forgive me if I admit that I’d love to love you
We both realized it way too late

(Chorus)

  D
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean

D   Em7  C6        G     C6
I write mostly on hotel paper
