Room 205 chords by Chase Rice

Chords with lyrics

Capo 1

       B minorBm
I'm just four walls with a little paint, a picture here or there
    G+G
I got a Bible in my dresser, just in case somebody cares
B minorBm
I've been here forever, 1959
  G+G
My name is on the front door, they call me 205
  B minorBm
And man you can't imagine, the things that happen here
   G+G
I've seen my share of laughing and I've seen a lot of tears
B minorBm
Drug deals and last meals and love that seemed so real
 G+G
Until I saw the flash of those hundred dollar bills
      A augmentedA
But let me tell you something crazy, that I'd never seen before
      G+G
Starts with Johnny and Katie, first time they walked through my door

Chorus 1:
     B minorBm
It was a Friday night, late fall
    G+G          A augmentedA
After a high school football game
           B minorBm
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet
     B minorBm
Yeah they made love for the first time
     G+G         A augmentedA
Till that Carolina sun came up
           G+G
That's where it all began
    A augmentedA      B minorBm
At the Conway Motor Inn

      B minorBm
Well they lit a cigarette, and talked about their lives
    G+G
Said they were getting married, after graduation night
 B minorBm
It all seemed so perfect, but they didn't have a clue
G+G
That one be one of them would be right back here with someone new
B minorBm
Now fast forward four years, and that white picket fence
G+G
It ain't holding out what it should be keeping in
A augmentedA
See, I see Katie on the weekends, when Johnny's working nights
G+G
And the man she's coming here with, ain't the man I recognize

Chorus 2:
B minorBm
It was a Friday night, late fall
     G+G       A augmentedA
After a high school football game
        B minorBm
They snuck away, in her lover's Escalade

Yeah they made love for the first time
     G+G        A augmentedA
Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up
         G+G
Both livin' in sin
    A augmentedA    B minorBm
At the Conway Motor Inn

Bridge:
B minorBm
Tonight Johnny ain't working, cause he's right here with me
    G+G
With a pistol in his right hand, just waitin' on the key
  B minorBm
To turn in my door, and when they both walk in
  G+G
He lays that hammer down, and that's where this story ends


Chorus 3:
B minorBm
It was a Friday night, late fall
     G+G       A augmentedA
After a high school football game
     B minorBm
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet

Yeah they made love for the first time
   G+G      A augmentedA
Till that Carolina sun came up
         G+G
That's where it all began

And that's where it all ends
A augmentedA       B minorBm
At the Conway Motor Inn

At the Conway Motor Inn

Outro:

I've been here forever, 1959

My name is on the front door, they call me 205
