Hotel hobbies padding [Am/D]dawns hollow corridors

Bell boys checking out the [Dm]hookers in the bar

Slug-like fingers trace the [Am/D]star-spangled clouds of cocaine on the mirror

The short straw takes its [Dm]bow

------[Dm]

The tell tale sign of the [Am/D]last cigarette marking time in the pockets as the

whisky sweat lies like dis[Dm]carded armour on an [Am/D]unmade bed

And a familiar craving [Dm] is crawling through his [D]head

------[C/D]------[A/D]------[G/D]

And the [D]only sign of life is the ticking of the pen[G/D]

Introducing characters to memories like old friends

Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines

In a [G/D]fever of confession a catalogue of crime in [D]happy hour

Do you [G/D]cry in [C/D]happy hour, do you hide in [A/D]happy hour, a pilgrimage to [G/D]happy hour

------[D/E]------[Em]------[D/E]------[C]------[D]------[C]------[D]

------[D/E]------[Em]------[D/E]------[C]------[D]------[C]------[D]------[Em]------[Bm]

------[Asus4]------[C5]------[C]------[C5]

New shadows [Bm]tugging at the corner of his [D]eye

Jostling for [Asus4]attention as the [C5]sunlight flares

Through a curtains tear, [C]shuffling its beams

As if in [C5]nervous anticipa[Bm7]tion of another day
