Rick Springfield - Motel Eyes Chords

[Intro]
 
Dm F Dm F
 
 
[Verse]
 
Dm
Her come-on was direct and strong
         F
From her question to her kiss
Dm
She said she'd had a little much to drink
           F
She didn't usually do this
            Gm                                  Dm
But she was looking for another head to scalp tonight
        C                Bb      Dm
And she had me right between her sights
Dm
I turned to face her as the jukebox clicked off
F
Playing a favorite song
Dm
And she looked pretty in the low lit bar
    F
But something was wrong
        Gm                                 Dm
I saw a dull red neon sign flashing in her eyes
        C                  Bb    Dm   Bb C
It said "VACANCY," she had motel eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Dm
They were black as the night
    Bb           C
And shone like a star
Dm
Fueled by the light
       Bb       C
From a medicine jar
  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there
    Dm
But ice in her eyes
        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes
 
 
[Verse]
 
Dm
She had the angles all down pat
    F
Her average must be high
Dm
And though it could have been a pleasure
       F
I just had to say goodbye
                 Gm
Though there was something wicked
                             Dm
About the way she flexed her thighs
    C                  Bb    Dm   Bb C
She scared me with her motel eyes
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
          Dm
They were black as the night
    Bb           C
And shone like a star
Dm
Fueled by the light
       Bb       C
From a medicine jar
  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there
    Dm
But ice in her eyes
        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Dm Bb C Dm Bb C
Dm Bb C Dm Bb C
 
 
[Solo]
 
Dm F Dm F
 
 
[Bridge]
 
    Gm
She started saying something
                     Dm
Bout movement versus size
         C                   Bb        Dm   Bb C
The sign kept on flashing in her motel eyes
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
          Dm
They were black as the night
    Bb           C
And shone like a star
Dm
Fueled by the light
       Bb       C
From a medicine jar
  Dm      Bb       C                 Bb
I looked again but there was nothing there
    Dm
But ice in her eyes
        C     Bb      C     Dm
There's no disguising motel eyes
Dm                 Bb
Black as the night
Dm                Bb      C    Dm
Black as the night, motel eyes
