C     Cadd9          Am   A4
There's a place on a blank stretch of road where

F                         G
Nobody travels and nobody goes and the

C   Cadd9          Am   A4
Deskman says these days 'round here

      F                                         G
Where two young folks could probably up and disappear into

F                         C
Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner room

Am         G       F
  Into the musty smell

   C   Cadd9               Am    A4
Of wilted flowers and lazy afternoon hours

       F      G      C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
At the Moonlight Motel

        C      Cadd9             Am    A4
Now the pool's filled with empty, eight foot deep

    F                                               G
Got dandelions growin' up through the cracks in the concrete

C    Cadd9            Am  A4
Chain-link fence half-rusted away

       F                                        G
Got a sign, says, "Children, be careful how you play"

F                           C
Your lipstick taste and your whispered secret

 Am       G          F
I promised I'd never tell

  C   Cadd9                Am    A4
A half-drunk beer and your breath in my ear

       F      G      C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
At the Moonlight Motel

          F                       C
Well then, it's bills and kids and kids and bills

       Am       G      F
And the ringing of the bell

           C    Cadd9               Am   A4
Across the valley floor through the dusty screen door

       F      G      C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
Of the Moonlight Motel

C   Cadd9                  Am  A4
Last night I dreamed of you, my lover

        F                                            G
And the wind blew through the window and blew off the covers

      C    Cadd9            Am     A4
Of my lonely bed, I woke to something you said

         F                                                G
That it's better to have loved, yeah, it's better to have loved

     F                  C
As I drove, there was a chill in the breeze

          Am                G         F
And leaves tumbled from the sky and fell

     C  Cadd9         Am   A4
On a road so black as I backtracked

       F       G     C Cadd9 Am A4
To the Moonlight Motel

       F                            C
She was boarded up and gone like an old summer song

Am             G     F
Nothing but an empty shell

  C    Cadd9                 Am   A4      F G C Cadd9
I pulled in and stopped into my old spot

           F                       C
I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a paper bag

               Am             G      F
Poured one for me and one for you as well

            C  Cadd9                          Am      A4
Then it was one more shot poured out onto the parking lot

       F       G     C Cadd9 Am A4 F G C
To the Moonlight Motel
