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
