Cooder Graw - Motel Lights Chords

[Intro]
F     C    G    G
 
Bb    F    G    G
 
[Verse]
G                    D  Em
  Little did she know
                     C                   G
The ring wouldn't go with him out to the bar
G           D  Em
  Newlyweds,
                                C                         G
Barely out of bed, and now he's leavin' in another girl's car
    F                        C                 G
She should've known when she took him home and stole him from another
        F                     C                G        D     Em
He'd do the same thing with a wedding ring and leave it for a lover
    C                        D                      G        D      Em
She thought she could change all of the things that kept him out at night
         C                 D                C              D
But even gold can't hold a man who sold his home for motel lights
 
[Chorus]
          F            C                  G
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door
       F                    C               G
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more
         F         C           G
And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store
         F            C                  G     G
As these motel lights flicker outside my door

[Verse]
G                D  Em
  He sells a lie
                       C                         G
She still wants to buy,  but that can't last for long
G                  D  Em
  Who wants to wait
                      C                           G
At home all day for a man who never wants to come home
    F                       C                    G
She can't keep the faith at home all day and her mind begins to stray
    F                     C                   G                     Em
She starts to think about havin' a drink at a little place down the way
    C                    D                 G                 Em
She can't believe she's about to leave the home she tried to build
        C                      D                C                D
But she gets in her car with a man from the bar up to her neck in guilt
 
[Chorus]
          F            C                  G
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door
       F                    C               G
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more
         F         C           G
And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store
         F            C                  G     G
As these motel lights flicker outside my door
