[Intro]
C Cadd9 Am A4 F F G
[Verse 1]
C Cadd9 Am A4
There's a place on a blank stretch of road where
F G
Nobody travels and nobody goes and the
C Cadd9 Am A4
Deskman says these days 'round here
F G
Where two young folks could probably up and disappear into
F C
Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner room
Am G F
Into the musty smell
C Cadd9 Am A4
Of wilted flowers and lazy afternoon hours
F G C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
At the Moonlight Motel
[Verse 2]
C Cadd9 Am A4
Now the pool's filled with empty, eight foot deep
F G
Got dandelions growin' up through the cracks in the concrete
C Cadd9 Am A4
Chain-link fence half-rusted away
F G
Got a sign, says, "Children, be careful how you play"
F C
Your lipstick taste and your whispered secret
Am G F
I promised I'd never tell
C Cadd9 Am A4
A half-drunk beer and your breath in my ear
F G C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
At the Moonlight Motel
[Chorus]
F C
Well then, it's bills and kids and kids and bills
Am G F

And the ringing of the bell
C Cadd9 Am A4
Across the valley floor through the dusty screen door
F G C Cadd9 Am A4 F G
Of the Moonlight Motel
[Verse 3]
C Cadd9 Am A4
Last night I dreamed of you, my lover
F G
And the wind blew through the window and blew off the covers
C Cadd9 Am A4
Of my lonely bed, I woke to something you said
F G
That it's better to have loved, yeah, it's better to have loved
F C
As I drove, there was a chill in the breeze
Am G F
And leaves tumbled from the sky and fell
C Cadd9 Am A4
On a road so black as I backtracked
F G C Cadd9 Am A4
To the Moonlight Motel
[Chorus]
F C
She was boarded up and gone like an old summer song
Am G F
Nothing but an empty shell
C Cadd9 Am A4 F G C Cadd9
I pulled in and stopped into my old spot
[Outro]
F C
I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a paper bag
Am G F
Poured one for me and one for you as well
C Cadd9 Am A4
Then it was one more shot poured out onto the parking lot
F G C Cadd9 Am A4 F G C
To the Moonlight Motel
