Holy Hotel chords by Jeff Daniels

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
My told-you-so done told me to
C majorC
My know-it-all knew what to do
       A minorAm
But the fact-of-the-matter is a word-to-the-wise
   A minorAm
It?s all right there when I close my eyes
      FF
I was built for speed, not to last
    FF              C majorC   G7G7
I was shining bright now I?m fading fast
    C majorC
Like yesterdays and remember-whens
  C majorC
And everywhere I ever been
   A minorAm
Still burns inside this soul of mine
A minorAm
Took all the turns and turned out find
  FF
I can?t recall when it was but it was just in time,
    C majorC    G7G7
Just because

[chorus]
   A minorAm
I was never fond of fare-thee-wells
    A minorAm
Long goodbyes and time-will-tells
FF
See you soon say so long
FF
Too damn bad it?s good as gone
G+G              FF
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
G+G              FF
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
G+G              FF
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
    FF         G7G7   A minorAm
I?m checking out of that holy hotel.


     C majorC
Well, the train pulled out when the truth pulled in
  C majorC
If I were me I?d do it all again
     A minorAm
Now I?m rocking away in this rocking chair
     A minorAm
With the good and the bad and the just ain?t-fair
       FF
And now it?s you and me and Father Time
    FF          C majorC     G7G7
Just waitin? on that perfect rhyme.
C majorC
Well, I never believed I?d ever belong
C majorC
Where you get all you can from those getting along
   A minorAm
And given the choice ?twixt the two, can?t say either one will do
   FF
But nowadays, those days of yore
FF                  C majorC    G7G7
Are just washing up on some distant shore

[chorus]

[interlude]
A minorAm A minorAm FF FF
[oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh]

C majorC
Every place I am and everywhere I go
C majorC
I come face to face with what I?ll never know
A minorAm
Regrets are few, say what you will
A minorAm
But I?ve seen the world while standing still
          FF
When the sun goes down and that darkness falls
FF                   C majorC  G7G7
This know-it-all lived and I loved it all

[repeat chorus, repeat interlude, fade]
