Intro : C majorC G+G D MajorD FF G+G [X2]

C majorC     G+G     D MajorD      FF      G+G
I was in the honeymoon suite at the Canmore Hotel.
 C majorC      G+G       D MajorD       FF     G+G
I was drunk, I was dying of lonliness and looking like hell
 C majorC        G+G      D MajorD     FF       G+G
(it was seventeen years to the day since you'd turned me down).
  C majorC      G+G         D MajorD      FF    G+G
The locals were brawling, and the bar was emptying out.

Bridge: (Just like intro) C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  FF  G+G [x1]


C majorC       G+G       D MajorD        FF      G+G
Did you get all those letters I sent? Are you thinking of me?
      C majorC       G+G      D MajorD        FF      G+G
Or did you hide them in drawers? Under cushions? In pockets? Up sleeves?
    C majorC    G+G      D MajorD     FF    G+G
The heater is broken, but at least I've got a TV.


Bridge: (Just like the last one)  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  FF  G+G [x1]


C majorC     G+G     D MajorD        FF       G+G
Imagine we'd run away together and we'd made it this far.
  C majorC     G+G        D MajorD        FF      G+G
We'd get married for ninety-two dollars in Riverside Park.
  C majorC       G+G         D MajorD      FF      G+G
The three sisters would cry, and tie cans to the back of my car.
  C majorC       G+G      D MajorD      FF      G+G
And I'd be in the honeymoon suite and not back in the bar.


Bridge:(Like always) C majorC   G+G   D MajorD    FF   G+G [x1]

C majorC      G+G     D MajorD        FF      G+G
The next morning the weather was perfect, so I went for a drive
      C majorC         G+G       D MajorD        FF      G+G
through the mountains and past little homes with little kids playing outside.
   C majorC      G+G       D MajorD      FF      G+G
A augmentedA wife, and a husband - a life that should have been mine.
