 F
Sunday night, it's supper time

 Am
The hotel's full and all is fine

 F
You can see that neon no vacancy sign

 G
From the window of room 39

 F
Monday morning at half past eight

 Am
Everbody's gone they've left no trace

 F
I sit alone as the day grows late

 G
Wait to see your friendly face

 F
Why you chose my hotel

 Am
I'm not real qualified to tell

 F
It's just your face I remember well

 G
When you asked if I had a room to sell

 F
Well, maybe you liked just what you saw

 Am
The cable tv and the indoor spa

 F
Or maybe it was the low low price

 G                  F
27 bucks a night.
F...
Am                            F*
They say the highway is for lovers

 Am      F                  F*
But he ain't no friend of mine

 Am
Coz every time I find my heart

    F                          G  G*
I lose it to that long yellow line

F
You checked in I checked you out

Am
You smiled from the corners of your mouth

F
I turned on the no vacancy sign

G
As you checked in to room 39

F
I saw the light from your tv

Am
You were watching channel 23

F
The night was long, the dark was deep

G
I kind of cried myself to sleep
chorus
F
Morning broke itself at last

Am
You got your continental breakfast

F
Dropped off the key and said goodbye

G
I think i thought I head you sigh

F
I caught a glimpse of your license plate

Am
As you were drifting down the interstate

F
It said you were from delaware

G
I said oh it must be gorgeous there
chorus repeat last line of chorus, end on G
