[Intro]
E A A E B
[Verse 1]
E
Back at the same hotel one year ago
A
I brought her back to this room
There’s not much to say
She came back every day
E B7
Twice that one afternoon
[Verse 2]
E
It wasn’t just bodies, but oh how our bodies
A
Tangled so effortlessly
There was much laughter
Before and after
E B E
And sometimes in between
[Chorus]
A E
I wanna call her up, say: How are you? (How are you?)
A B7
How’s things? Are you doing alright? (Doing alright)
E A E
But then a quiet voice, it tells me: It’s okay
B7 E
You can sleep alone tonight
[Verse 3]
E
I got my toothbrush set out by the sink
A
I might just give it a go
Then climb into bed
Read a page of that novel
E B7
Or zone out on some TV show
[Verse 4]
E
Don’t think of her shoulders, her hips, or her smile
A
That she’s just a cab ride away
She could be married
Or moved to a new state
E B E
Or not want to see your dumb face
[Chorus]
A E
I could call her up, be charming
A B7
Say: Remember you and me? What a delight!
E A E
But then a quiet voice, it tells me: It’s okay
B7 E
You can sleep alone tonight

I could say: The curtain is open (curtain's open)
A B7 B
You don’t wanna miss this moonlight (this moonlight)
E A E
But then a holy voice, it tells me: You’re okay
B7 E
You can sleep alone tonight

You can sleep alone
