Dm
Her come-on was direct and strong

         F
From her question to her kiss

Dm
She said she'd had a little much to drink

           F
She didn't usually do this

            Gm                                  Dm
But she was looking for another head to scalp tonight

        C                Bb      Dm
And she had me right between her sights

Dm
I turned to face her as the jukebox clicked off

F
Playing a favorite song

Dm
And she looked pretty in the low lit bar

    F
But something was wrong

        Gm                                 Dm
I saw a dull red neon sign flashing in her eyes

        C                  Bb    Dm   Bb C
It said "VACANCY," she had motel eyes
[Chorus]
          Dm
They were black as the night

    Bb           C
And shone like a star

Dm
Fueled by the light

       Bb       C
From a medicine jar

  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there

    Dm
But ice in her eyes

        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes
[Verse]
Dm
She had the angles all down pat

    F
Her average must be high

Dm
And though it could have been a pleasure

       F
I just had to say goodbye

                 Gm
Though there was something wicked

                             Dm
About the way she flexed her thighs

    C                  Bb    Dm   Bb C
She scared me with her motel eyes
[Chorus 2]
          Dm
They were black as the night

    Bb           C
And shone like a star

Dm
Fueled by the light

       Bb       C
From a medicine jar

  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there

    Dm
But ice in her eyes

        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes
[Interlude] Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C [Solo] Dm F Dm F [Bridge]
    Gm
She started saying something

                     Dm
Bout movement versus size

         C                   Bb        Dm   Bb C
The sign kept on flashing in her motel eyes
[Chorus 3]
          Dm
They were black as the night

    Bb           C
And shone like a star

Dm
Fueled by the light

       Bb       C
From a medicine jar

  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there

    Dm
But ice in her eyes

        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes

Dm                 Bb
Black as the night

Dm                Bb      C    Dm
Black as the night, motel eyes
