F#m          D          F#m      D
You told the man in the Broadway Hotel

E           D             C#m   D
Nothing was stranger than being yourself

F#m        D           F#m         D       Bm
And he replied, with a tear in his eye

E          D
Love was a rollaway

E      D        
Just a cajole away

E         D
Mist on a summer's day

C#m         D
Nothing was clear

E          D
Love was a smile away

E      D
Just a defile away

E           D
I sought it every way

C#m         D
No-one came near.

F#m           D         F#m         D
You asked the man for a room with a view

E           D          C#m           D
Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe

F#m         D         F#m          D       Bm
Then he replied as he gave you the key

E          D
Love was a rollaway

E          D
Just an unfold away

E          D
That's all there is to say

C#m         D
No-one came near.
-------------------------------------------------------- CHORUS *******
A             G
Alone in your room you hide

       F#m
as the night rolls by

       E
In the street outside

        A             G
And you feel over the words he said

          F#m              E                  C#m
Till they turn to rain all around your head.

--------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS *******
       A         G
You're seeking a hideaway

          F#m
Where the light of day

        E
Doesn't touch your face

      A                   G
And a door-sign keeps the world away

F#m
Behind the shades

        E            C#m
Of your silent day.
-------------------------------------------------------- VERSE 3 ********
F#m           D           F#m      D
You made your home in the Broadway Hotel

E            D           C#m       D
Room service came at the push of a bell

F#m         D          F#m          D       Bm
And the man said as he put down the tray

E          D
Love was a stealaway

E      D        
Just a reveal away

E          D
I tried to find a way

C#m         D
Nothing was clear

E          D 
Then as he turned away

E             D
You asked the man to stay

E            D
He was there all the day

C#m         D
No-one came near.
