Am
I was lost in some strange city
Am C E
and I couldn't find my hotel-room
Am
I was desperate in the midnight hour
F G
I needed sleep, a sink and shower
Am
But when one room's like the next
Am C E
It's hard to tell

Am
With the elevator broken
Am C E
I dragged myself up fourteen floors
Am
And at the top of this old building
F G
I knew no numbers but I knew a feeling
Am
And my key slid effortlessly
Am C E
Into the door

Am
But it was wrong and out of place
Am C E
There was a woman in my hotel-room
Am
She said, you might have known me all my life
F G
But who was I before tonight?
Am C E
Kiss me now, I promise I won't tell
Am C
Love, it will haunt you
F G Am
Whether or not you want it to
C G F E
But for me, my only company
F G Am
Are these ghosts that barely come to me
E C Em7
Only when I look for something else
