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
