Super 8
By Jason Isbell &

Chorus:

G+G      C majorC         G+G
Don't wanna die in a Super 8 Motel
C majorC                      G+G
Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well
   C majorC                    G+G           E7E7
If I ever get back to Bristol, I'm better off sleeping in the county jail
      D MajorD         G+G
Don't wanna die in a super 8 Motel


Verse I:

G+G                                     D MajorD
Having such a sweet night, audience is just right, drinking like a pirate do
D MajorD                                    G+G
Don't want to sleep yet, buddy it's a good bet I'll raise more hell than you
G+G                                  D MajorD
Do a couple rails and chase your own tail and talk about the bad old days
D MajorD                                    G+G
Trimmer in a t-shirt, telling me her heart hurt, Honey let me count the ways
    G+G                                  D MajorD
Then a big boy busted in screaming at his girlfriend waving around a Fungo bat
D MajorD                                   G+G
Bass player stepping up, brandishing a coffee cup, took it in the baby fat

Chorus:

G+G      C majorC         G+G
Don't wanna die in a Super 8 Motel
C majorC                      G+G
Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well
   C majorC                    G+G           E7E7
If I ever get back to Bristol, I'm better off sleeping in the county jail
      D MajorD         G+G
Don't wanna die in a super 8 Motel


Verse II:

G+G                                             D MajorD
Well I finally got the room clear, bleeding from the left ear, feeling pretty bad for the maid
D MajorD                                       G+G
Lost a couple drinks and my dinner in a sink and I woke up with the bed still made
G+G                                    D MajorD
Wasn't quite morning and I wasn't quite breathing, my heart way up in my throat
D MajorD                                            G+G
The girl starts screaming and the maid starts screaming and it looks like that's all she wrote
     G+G                                          D MajorD
Well they slapped me back to life and they telephoned my wife and they filled me full of Pedialyte
D MajorD                                           G+G
Some are guts, some are glory, it would make a great story if I ever could remember it right


Chorus:

G+G      C majorC         G+G
Don't wanna die in a Super 8 Motel
C majorC                      G+G
Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well
   C majorC                    G+G           E7E7
If I ever get back to Bristol, I'm better off sleeping in the county jail
      D MajorD         G+G
Don't wanna die in a super 8 Motel
        D MajorD         C majorC  G+G
I don't want to die in a Super 8 Motel
