C F G F C F G
[Verse 1]
C F G Am Misses Smith and Mister Jones have come to pass the night F Em Dm G Dm G They pulled off of the highway when they saw my light C F G Am It's a vacancy I offer them; what they offer me F Em Dm G Bb Dm7 G Is fullness for a lifetime that's bare as can be
[Chorus]
C Em F G There's a vacancy, won't you come to me Am Am/G Fmaj7 And fill my empty spaces C Em F G I'm a motel man in a promised land Am Am/G Fmaj7 That's filled with empty faces C Em F G Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams Am Am/G D It's a place for you to be Am Em F There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems Am D F G C F G F C F So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
[Verse 2]
C F G Am Another name, another key, another pass to glory F Em Dm G Dm G Another night, another sight, another bedtime story C F G Am Another stage, another chance for gentleness or violence F Em Dm G Bb Dm7 G Another birth, another dance, another death in silence
[Chorus]
G C Em F G There's a vacancy, won't you come to me Am Am/G Fmaj7 And fill my empty spaces C Em F G I'm a motel man in a promised land Am Am/G Fmaj7 That's filled with empty faces C Em F G Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams Am Am/G D It's a place for you to be Am Em F There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems Am D F G C F G F So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
[Verse 3]
C Mr. John is coming on with his liaison Dm Mr. Soft is coming off and soon he'll be gone Em Mrs. Hart has come apart now that she's alone F G Mr. Jive has come alive, but nobody's home
[Bridge]
C F G Am Mornings come checkout time with my pail and broom F Em Dm G Dm G I find what they've left being in every telltale room C F G Am The sheets show their struggles, the glasses their fears F Em Dm G Bb Dm7 G The ashtrays the hours passed, the towels their tears
[Chorus]
C Em F G There's a vacancy, won't you come to me Am Am/G Fmaj7 And fill my empty spaces C Em F G I'm a motel man in a promised land Am Am/G Fmaj7 That's filled with empty faces C Em F G Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams Am Am/G D It's a place for you to be Am Em F There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems Am D F G C So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
