Verse
Am
5:04 no morning's broken
G D
The minibar is always open
Am
She lays her head and waits for dreams
G D
These sheets are clean, these sheets are clean
Am
The TV's flickering red and blue
G D
A# voice suggests what she could do
Am
Against the signs of getting old
G D
She grabs the remote control
[Chorus]
C
And she tries to tell the nights apart
G
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
Am F
A# hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
[Verse 2]
Am
362 do not disturb
G D
If no one knows, no one gets hurt
Am
He turns off his mobile phone
G D
He's never been this far from home
Am
A# stranger's skin and unknown scent
G D
He wonders where his conscience went
Am
The stranger smiles and blows a kiss
G D
Wake-up call, quarter to six
[Chorus]
C
And she tries to tell the nights apart
G
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
Am F
A# hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
C
Yeah, they try to tell the nights apart
G
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
Am F
A# hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
[Bridge]
Dm
Pale light in the corridors
Am G
Short stories on every floor
Dm
Checking in and checking out
Am G
Nothing to write home about
Dm
It's just a stop along the way
Am G
Just a temporary place
Dm
For nameless neighbours in the dark
Am G
Wall to wall but worlds apart
[Outro]
Dm
I got 101, my lucky number
Am G
Windows open, wind of summer
Dm Am G
(A# hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room)
Dm
And I hang my dress and turn the lights out
Am G
It's probably too late to call now
Dm Am G
(A# hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room)
