[Verse 1]
A
the ceiling had a painting on it
A
in our room in France
A
so we were living underneath
A
some angels in a dance
C
my husband was not feeling well
G
and so we went to bed
F
he woke up complaining
G
of an aching in his head
 
[Instrumental 1]
F Em A
 
[Verse 2]
A
he said a hundred people
A
had come through our room that night
A
that one by one the old and young
A
asked if he was all right
C
one by one the old and young
G
lined up to touch his hand
Dm
he spent the night explaining
C F C G
they had come to the wrong man
 
[Instrumental 2]
Dm Em A
 
[Verse 3]
A
the concierge was less than helpful
A
when we asked her the next day
A
with coffee and a magazine
A
we went to the desk to pay
C
"what happened in that room?" he asked
G
"a death or something strange?"
Dm
she smiled at him politely
F G
and returned to him his change
 
[Instrumental 3]
Dm Am Dm Em A
 
[Verse 4]
A
well, what I'd like to know
A
and this will be a mystery,
A
is with all the people in that room
A
why none appeared to me?
C
when we sleep so close together that
G C G C
our hair becomes entwined
Dm Am
I must have missed that moment
F G
in the gateway to his mind
 
Dm Am Em A
