[Intro]
G6G6 G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A (x4)


[Verse 1]
      G6G6     G6/C   G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
There's a few too many years on this hotel
   G6G6      G6/C G6/B  Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
She used to be a beauty you can tell
   E minorEm                Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
The lights down in the lobby they don't shine
      E minorEm            Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
They just flicker while the elevator whines
     G6G6      G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And the couple in the corner of the bar
    G6G6        G6/C  G6/B Dsus2Dsus2
Have traveled light and clearly traveled far
       E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2
She's got nothing left to learn about his heart
       E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
They're sitting there a thousand miles apart

[Chorus 1]
 A minorAm             Dsus2Dsus2
Baby let's not ever get that way
   A minorAm             Dsus2Dsus2
I'll say whatever words I need to say
    G6G6         G6/C G6/B   Dsus2Dsus2
I'll throw rocks at your window from the street
      G6G6         G6/C  G6/B  D7sus2
And we'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet


[Verse 2]
      G6G6      G6/C  G6/B  Dsus2Dsus2
There's a lady shining shoes up by the door
   G6G6       G6/C  G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And cowboy boots for seven dollars more
     E minorEm               Dsus2Dsus2
And I remember how you loved to see them shine
   E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
So I run upstairs and get a pair of mine
         G6G6      G6/C G6/B   Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And there's a painting on the wall beside the bed
    G6G6   G6/C  G6/B Dsus2Dsus2
The watercolor sky at Hilton Head
    E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2
Then I see you in that summer when we met
     E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And that boy you left in tears in his Corvette

[Chorus 2]
 A minorAm             Dsus2Dsus2
Baby let's not ever get that way
   A minorAm             Dsus2Dsus2
I'll drive you to the ocean every day
    G6G6       G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
We'll stay up in the presidential suite
   G6G6         G6/C  G6/B  D7sus2 D7sus2/A Dsus2Dsus2
And call ourselves the flagship of the fleet


[Bridge]
G6G6 G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A (x2)
G6G6 G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 (x2)


[Verse 3]
   G6G6     G6/C  G6/B  Dsus2Dsus2
You gotta try and keep yourself naive
     G6G6       G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2
And in spite of all the evidence believe
    E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And volunteer to lose touch with the world
   E minorEm         Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
And focus on one solitary girl


[Chorus 3]
 A minorAm              Dsus2Dsus2
Baby let's not live to see it fade
    A minorAm              Dsus2Dsus2
I'll cancel all the plans I've ever made
    G6G6       G6/C  G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A
I'll drive and you can ride in the back seat
   G6G6            G6/C  G6/B  D7sus2
And we'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet


[Outro]
G6G6 G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 Dsus2/A (x2)
G6G6 G6/C G6/B Dsus2Dsus2 (x2)
