Motel Lights
By Cooder Graw

Intro chords:
F    C    G  
Bb   C    G

G
Little did she know
Em
The ring wouldn’t go
     C              G
With him out to the bar
G         Em
Newlyweds, barely out of bed
             C                         G
And now he’s leaving in another girl’s car
D
She should’ve known
         C
When she took him home
    G
And stole him from another
     D                        C
He’d do the same thing with a wedding ring
G Em And leave it a lover C D She thought she could change all of the things G Em That kept him out at night C D But even gold can’t hold a man C D Who sold his home for motel lights Chorus: F C G Now these motel lights flicker outside my door F C G Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more F C G And that vacancy reminds me of what I’ve got in store F C D As these motel lights flicker outside my door He sells a lie she still wants to buy But that can’t last for long Who wants to wait at home all day For a man who never wants to come home She can’t keep the faith at home all day And her mind begins to stray She starts to think about having a drink At a little place down the way She can’t believe she’s about to leave the home She tried to build But she gets in a car with a man from the bar Up to her neck in guilt Chorus
