Capo 2nd Fret

Intro:  G  C9  G  C9
        G  D  G

     G                      C9        G
I found myself down at the Airways Motel
                         D
Drunk and half hearted again
  G                       C9        G
Alone with a woman who's not gonna tell
                            D          G
What I've been doin' and where I have been
                                 C9            G
It seems Sunday mornings, they come without warning
                           D
I'm never ready for the way that I feel
  G                         C9       G
So sick of lying, I know that I'm dying
                               D         G
>From all of these secrets that I can't reveal


Chorus:

             C                      G
But I can still sing along with the choir
          D                         G
While I fight through my own private hell
   C                       G       C
Caught between heaven and all my desire
         G             D      G
For the girl at the Airways Motel


When I promised forever the night that I married
I meant every word that I said
But a couple years later I stand here a liar
Next to the woman I know I've misled

Looking around at this whole congregation
Too tired to listen, I play with my ring
I wonder who all of us think that we're fooling
Hiding from someone who sees everything

Chorus

Somewhere between heaven and all my desire
For the girl at the Airways Motel
