Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band - Empty Hotel By The Sea Chords

[Verse 1]
A              E                D                    E
Order an Old Fashioned with a splash of Grand Marnier
A              E                D            E
I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay
F#m           C#m               D            A
I don't wanna argue, but I gotta tell you straight
D                                E
And better if it happens face to face

A                             E                D                E
They're lookin' for you, brother, They keep stopping by the house 
A                      E                D      E
They're waiting at my work when I get out
F#m                      C#m               D               A
What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now
D                                E
Do you really think they'd let it go
Bm                                       E7
Well judging by your silence, the answer's no


[Chorus]
D                E
It's not true, Matthew
A                    F#m
No it's nothing like before
D                  E                  A
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D                    E               A  E    D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm                                     E 
With your feet propped up, watchin' the TV
Bm                                     E
With a tray of food you're never gonna eat
Bm                                       E
And some sh*t excuse that no one would believe
        G      Bm     E    A 
In that empty hotel by the sea

[Verse 2]
A              E              D                E
Now when it's over I'll be talkin' to your grave
A              E                   D       E
You might as well hear what I'll say
F#m             C#m               D               A
I can't forgive you, and I'll never sing your praise
D                                  E
Why'd you always have to get your way

A               E              D             E 
Now you're a legend to those sick Neanderthals
A               E              D       E
The ones who count the bullet holes
F#m           C#m          D              A
Can't help admiring the splatter on the wall
D                              E
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
Bm                                        E7
Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned


[Chorus]
D                E
It's not true, Matthew
A                    F#m
No it's nothing like before
D                  E                  A         
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D                     E              A E   D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm                                     E
With a blindfold on, tryin' to fall asleep
Bm                                        E
While your rental car's on fire in the street
Bm                                         E
And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach
          G    Bm    E    A    
In that empty hotel by the sea

Oh, it's, it's not true, Matthew

No it's nothing like before
D                    E                  A
They know exactly where you're bound to be
D                     E              A E    D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm                                         E
With your fingers broken, pickin' up your teeth
Bm                                     E
With the realization you were in too deep
Bm                                      E
With some final words that no one will repeat
Bm                                            E
While the snow's still fallin' softly on the beach
         G      Bm  E   A
In that empty hotel by the sea
